    Just a warning to all interested traders...between a few buddies and I we've opened up 4 growlers over the last two weeks. One was good, but the other three were highly infected. Tart red wine, way over carbonated and super thin being the dominating, consistent traits across all three. Slightly vegetal as well. Not that drinkable overall. Just a warning in case you're looking to trade for one.

    Cheers,

    Ryan

    i wonder if all the florida people were withholding this information or if none of them actually bought any to drink

    Had one last night and it was awesome. I hope the other one coming in the mail to me is not infected!

    There has been a thread in the South Atlantic section talking about this for at least a week now. I don't think anyone is hiding anything. Some are infected and some aren't, but Peg's and Doug are trying to make it right.

    funny then that none of the people trading it have noted that it might be infected in their posts.

    Some of them might not know, they may not check this area or the SA forum. I know plenty of us stopped unloading them when we saw this. I'm taking my remaining growlers back to Pegs for a refund.

    I'm 1/2 infection-wise. Have one left that I may try to get back to Pegs for a taste test.

    I did get an awesome (and unexpected) BM from 'em last night. Very cool for such a small place.

    This? Mine was infected. Very tart red-wine and cherry. Not un drinkable, but not great.

    This is exactly my experience. Email or send them a FB message and they will take care of you.
