How did this happen?

I've known it was coming. I knew this day would be upon me all too soon. I just didn't expect it today. Earlier this afternoon I went to the beer cellar (OK, so it's a set of shelves in my garage) and pulled out the last 3 home brews I own. The last 3. How? Why? Where have I gone wrong? This has a couple of implications. First, I need to keep a better eye on my supply of commercial brews because I don't currently have a backup plan. Secondly, and more importantly, it's time to brew. Probably twice. At least. I'll take suggestions. What should I brew? Probably looking at something darker for the winter. I've got some star anise that I want to experiment with, so that's definitely in play.
