Man. It’s been quite some time since my last “In The Fridge” segment. Man beers have come and gone in the past six months — more than I can count to tell you the truth. I just wanted to share what all I had in the basement mini fridge (I really need to invest in a larger appliance) as well as what’s been lurking stored in the dark corners.
The fridge contents include:
- Walnut Creek Alehouse Hefeweizen
- Sierra Nevada Anniversary Ale (2007)
- North Coast Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout
- North Coast Old Ruedrich’s Red Seal Ale
- Buffalo Bill’s Pumpkin Ale
- Anheuser-Busch Jack’s Pumpkin Spice Ale
- Wild Goose Pumpkin Patch
- Victory Brewing Storm King Stout
- Aventinus Wheat Doppelbock
- Shipyard Brewing Fuggles IPA
- Penn Brewing Penn Weizen
And here is what’s currently being stored, as well as notes on their current storing duration and number of bottles:
- Brewery Castle Eggenberg Samichlaus (2 bottles – almost 1 yr)
- Bell’s Batch 8000 (2 bottles – 3 mo)
- De Dolle Stille Nacht (1 bottle – 3 mo)
- Anchor Brewing Our Special Ale 2006 (6 bottles – almost 1 yr)
- Ommegange Three Philosophers (1 bottle – 6 mo)
- Gouden Carolus Noël (1 bottle – almost 1 yr)
- Delirium Noel (1 bottle – almost 1 yr)
- Kasteel Brune (1 bottle – 6 mo)
- Ommegang Ommegang (1 bottle – 6 mo)
- Nice Chouffe (2 bottles – 1 mo)
- St Bernardus ABT 12 (1 botle – 6 mo)
- Koenings Haeven Quadruple (1 bottle – 1 mo)
- Tripel Karmeliet (1 bottle – 1 mo)
- Saison Dupont (1 bottl – 1 mo)
- Duchesse de Bourgogne (1 bottle – 1 mo)
I can’t wait to dive into a those beers that will be one year old this Christmas season. Keep your fingers crossed that the basement temperature maintained an acceptable range for that time frame.

I would love to hear how those beers aged for you! As long as your basement doesn’t get way hot in the summer, you should be OK with only a year or so aging. I know some of those could go much longer if you want to hold off!
