Christmas Stash

Those are all some great looking stashes. I should really start my own Christmas stash. Although, everytime I get a bomber of something I’m so excited I end up drinking it right away.

I am holding 6 of those beers that I keep around for my birthday (Jan. 5th)  And I have to be honest, I have started my bday with Founders Bfast stout for about 4 years, great birthday coffee

For real?  I just picked up a bottle in a Boulevard 3-pack.  It’s gone down to the basement stash, along with the Ommegang three pack.

Most things that go to the stash stay there for a long time.  Dark Lord needs a reason to come out.  That reason could be Christmas.

I would split it when I open it.  If I drank the whole bottle myself in an evening I know I would be hung over.  I hope it’s good.  The reviews online suggest it is.

Definitely planning to split it.

I can drink a whole bottle of the Bourbon Barrel Quad and be perfectly fine. Something about the Rye On Rye…and it’s less % I do believe

You’re just going to have to start buying two bottles  :smiley:

Breakfast stout is pretty much a staple in my house. It’s my wife’s favorite as well as one of mine. I usually split one with my brew partner over a big breakfast during the mash on brew days.

+1.  The same applies to my big home brew beers, too. I have a tough time leaving them alone as long as I’d like when they’re really good. I found 2 or 3 bottles of RIS recently that I’d forgotten existed. They were well over a year old - really tasty.

I guess I have a homebrew Christmas stash too. I have a keg of my first Belgian Quad ready to be tapped Saturday. It was kegged late January/early February (I think it was brewed last December). I’ll also be putting on a barleywine that I brewed in February. Can’t wait!

They’ll be great!

I honestly can’t say I can hold on to a Dark Lord longer than 2 weeks, I am weak and I know it!  But that is what keeps me going back as long as they can still hold up the events…  I wish I could get an idea of what the 2012 tastes like now with my own two lips…  But I will have to say that ship has probably sailed.
