Honestly the biggest reason i cellar/hoard is the "might never have this beer again" feeling. I have two bottles of BCBCS in the closet. Logic says drink as fresh as possible but knowing the "difficulty" of obtaining that beer makes it hard. Same goes with a lot of the coffee or spice forward beers in my cellar.

(Paso Robles, CA) – The third and final bottled release of Firestone Walker Brewing Company’s barrel-aged Double DBA begins on July 12, setting the stage for an as-yet-unchosen replacement next year.
“The 2014 Double DBA is a big and complex beer that still offers the balance and drinkability that are the hallmarks of DBA,” said Brewmaster Matt Brynildson. “This vintage is outstanding, so Double DBA is leaving us on a high note.”
He added, “This beer has served us well, but there’s a finite amount of space and brewing capacity dedicated to our barrel-aged beers. In order to brew and share new barrel-aged beers, we need to rotate some out, starting with Double DBA. So get it while you can.”
Other beers in the brewery’s barrel-aged program include Bravo, Helldorado, Parabajava, PNC, Saucerful of Secrets and Brownie Wine—but it remains to be seen which will replace Double DBA in 2015.
As with previous vintages, the 2014 Double DBA imperial special bitter is Firestone Walker’s flagship DBA brewed at double strength, using twice the amount of malts and hops. As with the regular DBA, the 2014 Double DBA was partially fermented in a union of new American oak barrels. After fermentation, the beer was racked and returned to the union barrels as well as bourbon barrels, where it aged for one year. The barrel mix for the 2014 Double DBA included vessels from Woodford Reserve, Elijah Craig and Four Roses.
Bovada had Parabajava (Coffee Parabola) as the -165 favorite to take over in the series

You're gonna drink them when they are declining. Is that really better than drinking it fresh and enjoying it now? I'd say it's a resounding no.
I drink fresh. That's my philosophy, but I do have like 8 beers "cellared" just to test the differences. All of them are Imperial Stouts except some BCBW. I had them all fresh and don't have this attitude that I can't drink them because I may never have that beer again. There are plenty of great beers out there to keep me satisfied than buying a beer just to go sit. You buy beer to drink.
And I don't consider cellaring the same as hoarding. I hate the hoarding that goes on within the craft beer community. It's very much against the best part of the community: sharing delicious beer.
