hey all- Yes yes I know this has been played out way too many times I have a bottle of 2015 BCBS that I want to bring to a party today but can’t find the website to check the infection dates to see if it’s solid or not. Can someone walk me through that again so I don’t make an ass out of myself thanks all!
Bring it, open it and taste it yourself first before offering to others. If its bad, drain pour it. But also bring another backup quality beer to share if the 2015 BCBS turns out infected.
The original Bourbon County beer, first brewed at Goose Island's Clybourn Avenue brewpub in the 1990s, is the beer with the largest footprint and greatest production. Nine bottling dates — Oct. 9, Oct. 12, Oct. 21, Oct. 22, Oct. 23, Oct. 26, Oct. 30, Nov. 4 and Nov. 5 — were recalled, though the brewery hasn't said how much of the total production was tainted.
i'd go with this suggestion. based on commonsense, there's nothing concrete that says the dates Goose Island claimed were safe, actually are safe.
Definitely considered this and probably will do this- just wanted to see if there was a way to look it up bc o heard there was. Thanks!
Ahh didnt realize even some of the “non infected” beer was turning up with infection. Thanks for the info!
to be clear i would not say "non infected" turned infected. the circumstances of the issue aren't completely known, but it was later accepted that it began with barrels. which, they couldn't possibly have tracked every barrel that had been emptied (way before the infection was known) to actually be confident zero barrels from each specific batch/bottling date that was deemed safe, actually had no contamination & was safe. that's just commonsense.
