    I've been working through the Beer Camp pack and when I went to throw the last few in the fridge, I realize that Yvan the Great has exploded.

    An unexpected occurrence, even from a somewhat young Belgian Pale. My bottles of Brux are doing fine...

    Any other exploding bottles out there?

    I hate it when a beer bottle breaks before I've had a chance to empty it. I've never had one explode, unless I forget it in the freezer, but have dropped one or two over the years.

    Shame. That was one of my favorites in the pack.

    Interesting. That was one of my favorites in the pack, but I thought it needed a bit more carbonation to make it great. Maybe it's wildly carbonated now.

    Save the bottle... SNBCo will want to look at the glass. They will more than likely send you a retrieval kit.

    For what it's worth, the only bottle I've ever had explode in storage was SN Hoptimum. Not sure if that means anything at all, but still a weird coincidence.

    Moment of silence please....



    Must drink faster and check the temp on the refrigerator, in the back.

    Please save the bottle!!! Whatever you do, don't throw it away. Send me a Beer Mail or an email at: [email protected] and we'll get you sorted out. We can't say for certain what happened until our crew gets to take a look at what you have.

    Get in touch, we'll fix you up.

    -Bill

    Was your fridge too cold where it was? Could've just frozen.
