Refunds for 2015 Regular BCBS and 2015 Prop

Jesus people move on...it's just beer,not our nations blood supply!! Just dump it and don't buy it again.
POSSIBLE INFECTED THREAD

 

I love the sanctimonious "it's just beer perspective" posted by someone on a forum solely dedicated to beer.

 

or you could set an example by moving on yourself. don't talk about it. be about it.

 

As someone sitting on $120 worth of potentially gross beer, I am quite interested in seeing this get resolved. If you don't care, cool, dump yours and move on. Also probably don't open this thread.

 

How has this fact been established? Really, not wanting to start (or continue) a fight! Has GI confirmed or have any beer judges or cicerones backed these claims? Again, not wanting argument, just curious. Thanks!

 

You didn't make it to DLD either?

 

What would normal ph be?
What is the significance of it rising or falling?
How much of a variance is significant?

(I know the answer to these questions. I am just asking for the people that don't know and are afraid to ask)

 

I traded for more Bcbs, from what I've had I don't have a grave concern. I have some Sept bottlings the rest are Nov, and from what Ive had they were as expected, and I don't expect them to turn to shit in 6 months or even a year. I could be wrong, but I don't think this is an all encompassing infection problem. Seems pretty random so far.

 

If you know the answers, why not just post them for the people you are trying to help?

 

This is the internet. Your fancy logic has no place here!

 

What are you offering FT? I got 12 bottles of 21OCT15 sitting in my fridge and I can guarantee they are sour because the last 20 bottles of 21OCT15 that I opened were

 

I got 2 bottles a couple weeks ago. Each from the same batch. First was fantastic, I'll hedge my bets and say the next will be good too.

 

Finally got around to chilling one of my bottles from a case, all dated 10/21. Absolutely disgusting. Sour cherry and garbage on the nose. Taste followed...completely sour. Reminded me of drinking Tart of Darkness. It was so obviously bad that it was hard to believe it wasn't intentionally sour. Just to make sure I wasn't imagining things (although it was really too obvious to doubt), I cracked a 2013 BCBS and it was night and day. The 2013 was chocolate, graham cracker deliciousness. The 2015 was vile, sour garbage. I'm so disappointed and really hope GI stops "looking into it" and just acknowledges that BCBS is fucked. Because it it.

 

10/23/15 - 1043 - 14.3%

Broke one open last night and smelled/tasted like expected.

 

Holy tits!

 

11/04/15 - 1028 -14.3% Tasted fine last night. Compared with a 2014 BCBS and enjoyed both and the slight differences between the two.

 

I am certainly concerned about BCBS as I have plenty of bottles, but to be honest, I am even more concerned about the potential of Regal Rye being infected. I have only seen 1 or 2 reports, but I have several bottles, many of which I have traded for and I am wondering how concerned I should be? Have others had issues? It doesn't seem to be as problematic as BCBS to this point but I am still worried as I have no plans of consuming them soon.

Additionally, swallowing several bottles at almost $25 a piece is a lot harder than the $10 BCBS bottles are if they are bad. I am not saying they are by the way, just that I am concerned.

 

Opened another 10/21 bottle yesterday. Sour to the smell and taste. Drain pour.

 

Cracked a 10/9 Saturday afternoon. No infection. Just amazing BCS-ness. I maintain 2015 is the best year for fresh BCS - amazing right from go, infected bottles notwithstanding.

 

I had a bottle marked 10/21 1427 sitting in my basement ~65 degrees for the past 6 months. Popped in the fridge to chill and opened it over the weekend.
Luckily, it was just as delicious as it was when purchased.
