jackie o's quality issue?

FWIW, I've probably drank as many STAFF bottles as anyone out there, and have yet to experience a bad infection (only one bottle that showed early signs, but nothing that killed the beer). That said, I did open most of them within the first few months of purchase, as that's what was recommended by the brewery (and has been Brad's recommendation for as long as I've been going there regarding his stouts). I have a couple bottles left that I plan to open soon.
