    Hello all!
    I have a 2010 Cantillon LPF, and at one point was transferring it (as well as several other beers) from my old apartment to my new apartment. When I picked it up, it was obvious that some beer had come out and was leaking on the side. However, there appear to be no cracks, and the cap and cork are intact. After a few months, I still haven't opened the bottle, but there is weird dried LP on the outside.

    Is it ruined? Is it flat? Has anyone had this happen?
    Thanks!

    Opened a 2008 LPG that was shipped from Belgium, and there was stickiness and a vinegar smell on the bottle. I was fearing the worst, so I stuck it in the fridge, let it sit for a few days to settle, and happy to report that it tasted great. There was a bit of liquid in between the cap and cork, as others have commented, but the beer held up well. That said, since there is already a leak, definitely drink that now.

    for a minute I thought we were in the twilight zone, then realized that other thread was in the trading forum.

    I recently shipped a bottle via FedEx from PA to CA of St. Lamvinus (to consume with friends when I landed there). When they opened up the box, it had leaked into the packaging. We opened it 4 days later and it was fantastic. No loss of carbonation or any other negative effects.
