The Cellar

Everyone has heard of a wine cellar, but beer cellars tend to be less commonly understood. Yes, beer can be cellared and high alcohol beer (> ~7.5%) age very well. Aged beer tastes much different that fresh beer; toffee, chocolate, cream and coffee are a few common flavours found in a cellared brew. We have put together this page dedicated to our cellars which we will update regularly with reviews, and new additions as our collections continue to grow and age. Please enjoy.  Check out our notes on making your own cellar.

My Beer Fridge Cellar

My Beer Fridge Cellar

I recently purchased a new beer fridge to replace my humble cardboard box cellar because my garage was getting too warm.  I posted about it. My cellar consists of very few beers at this point in time, but my stockpile will grow.  The meager number of bottles in my cellar has to do with my lack of patience and the knowledge that Erik will probably share his aged goods with me:)

Note: What with moving overseas, I had to empty my cellar.  Here’s the post about it.
