    you should email them back pointing out obviously their "brewers" thought the same when they released BCBSC & BCBW... unless of course they prefer to go with the brewers knew it was fucked & released it anyway.

    Just cracked one of my three 10/6/15 BCBS bottles, and happy to report no infection! Had the antibiotic ready!

    I expect that every major brewery, and most minor ones monitor these forums to watch for praise and issues. I have seen a number of brewers posting on the forums. GI/BCBS folks have to know about this forum! Hi guys - love your beer, please send me a free T-shirt in XXL and a nice BCBS glass!

    Superb as always. Just a great sipping beer, especially since I didn't sleep much last night.

    Wish I had that kind of patience, haha.

    Cracked two myself last 10 days without issue.

    If it's infected it's infected , it's too late. But if it's not you can enjoy it as you please. I Choose to drink it as I please. Spotty at best info IMO.

    Although I had been planning on saving it, I cracked a 23OCT15 1433 expecting it to be a drain pour based on the info above. Looks like I lucked out (unlike with BCBCS). Tasty as usual. Hope I get the same luck with my other two 23OCT15 bottles.

    Somewhere in this thread someone was tracking bottling times. Maybe check in there with your time

    Sipping on a bottle dated 11Nov15 and it's delicious. A little heat on it which could use a bit of time to mellow but an amazing beer nonetheless. Haven't had a bad one yet and hoping the trend continues.

    I have no idea what a wet dream tastes like and I hope I never know. Not sure if its a good or bad thing, but I'm not risking it.

    Taken from the Odd Side Ales playbook it seems.

    Shared a November date bottle, don't remember the exact date, with a buddy on the golf course yesterday. Delicious. Bummer for you guys getting bad ones.

    Opened a 21Oct15 1846 14.3%. There was definitely a slight sour taste, followed by a faint mineral finish. Carbonation and body seemed fine. Not sure if this is an infection or not, but it wasn't a drain pour for me like the coffee was. I'm going to open another bottle this weekend.

    If anyone of you all want to swap bottles...I have plenty of 21OCT15 available. I'll give you a great deal on it :wink:

    I'll pass, but if you have one you're pretty certain is infected because its siblings were, you could send it to GI, care of "Infected BCBS Denial Department"...

    If GI will pay for shipping, I'll gladly send them a couple 21OCT15 just to prove my point. At this point they are just taking up fridge space
