    If it happens at your brewery during the brewing process and it's a stout, just say that it is a collaboration with Rush and call it Fly by Night.

    If the fly didn't drink any of my beer I remove his silly ass and send him on his way. But, if he's caught guzzling my beer that ass is getting squashed. Either way I'm finishing my beer.

    I wonder what would happen if I just tacked this on to my fridge...
    "Yeah it's supposed to be fuzzy like that." Though that may exceed the 'present no health hazards for humans' bit.

    Just tell people you're experimenting with dry-aging.

    I had this happen about two weeks ago and thought about posting the same question. Glad I didn't. I did dump the beer, though.

    If I recall correctly, you're supposed to pluck the fly out, stare it down, hold it over the beer, and start yelling:

    SPIT IT OOT, YA BASTARD!

    Just pick out the fly (or not) and finish your beer.
    The alcohol ought to take care of anything the fly brought with it.

    I would drink it unless the fly died. That's not a good sign...

    Just drink it and roll with it. Builds character.
