re: Whalez in the Cellar

I don't know about whalez, but what i'm aging is mostly sours. I try to save them for "special occasions" but i drink them whenever i feel like. Right now i have aging in the cabinet.

Drie Fonteinen OUde Geuze
Jester King Boxer's Rebellion
Bruery Reuze

And some other assorted sours from JK, wicked Weed, etc... Like i said, though, some of those might be consumed this weekend.

I do have some older non sours in my beer fridge that i need to clear out.

2014 and 2015 Pumpkinator - bought these when it was scarce and i loved the beer. Haven't had one in 2 or 3 years though.
2013, 2014, 2015 Parish Grand Reserve - Waiting for it to get cold to drink these
2014 and 2015 Parish Imperial Reserve - same comment as above
Various St. Arnold Divine Reserve and Bishop's Barrel series.
2016 KBS
2016 Sierra Nevada Imperial Stout aged in Cabernet Barrels - Picked this up at their brewery in Asheville last year. Never saw it in stores so i have this in my sour cabinet waiting for cold weather.

Some other various barleywines and stouts exist as well. I've kind of gone away from the cellaring beers. Got to a point where i couldn't fit IPA's and such in the fridge because i was saving too many beers for "special occasions" and would never drink it.

I have room to store about 20 or so bombers in a cabinet in the house and i doubt it really gets to that. That cabinet is really just a holding spot until i'm ready to drink a sour, then i transfer it to the fridge.
