What are your guys' techniques for cellaring?

I don't have a basement, so right now I just keep them in my kegerator to keep the temperature low.

I currently have a couple of the Anchor Christmas Ale from last year, two Old Foghorn Barleywines from last year and a bigfoot.

This year, I hope to start keeping at least a six pack of each year moving forward to do a vertical tasting.

I also heard that Stone's Vertical Epics are made with the idea of cellaring them for longer periods of time.

Avery Hog Heaven
New Belgium LaFolie
Gonzo Barrel Aged Imperial Porter from Flying Dog

There are more local beers than that but that was off the top of my head.

I just had this year's (7-7-07) Stone Vertical Epic last night and I'm in love. I'm going back to the store to buy the rest of their stock to keep. It will be hard to not drink it all, which is why I'm getting many bottles.

In our basement we've got an old coal room that is mostly underground. I've setup a small shelving unit in there to hold all my beers. Check Craigs List for an old fridge if you've got room and turn the temp up on it. It appears 55f-65f is the ideal "cellaring" temps. They'll stay good at fridge temps but I think there is a difference between "storing" and "cellaring".

Got 6 bombers each of Stone 060606 and 070707 (late start.) Plus a buddy of mine in Napa has a 12 of each. Planning on some tastings maybe in 2011 and for sure in 2012 after 121212 releases.

I also have some DFH 120, World Wide Stout, Raison De Extra and Fort. I recently tasted Allagash Interlude and wish I had a case of that.

I also have a few various barleywines....good fun...and good noon.

Here's my two cents worth-
Avery Brewing Company - Hog Heaven Barley Wine
Avery Brewing Company - Fourteen
Great Divide Brewing Company - Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout
Great Divide Brewing Company - Old Ruffian Barley Wine
Golden City Brewery - Centurion Barley wine Ale
Flying Dog Brewery - Wild Dog Barrel-Aged Gonzo Imperial Porter
Left Hand Brewing Company - 2007 Oak Aged Imperial Stout
Bristol Brewing Company - XXX Warlock Double Imperial Stout
New Belgium Brewing - La Folie
And I would probably throw in a can of Old Chub just for good luck!
