Possible Bourbon Barrel Aged Night Train Infection?

Had it at the GTOMW ticket line a month or so back, most certainly infected.

Heard the same from some friends who cracked a bottle a couple weeks ago.

Cheers!

 

I have a bottle cellared for about 3 months now. Oh boy !

 

Fair enough, while it's probably not how I would go about it, its certainly not a terrible way of looking at it.

The reason I love the Steve's Mineral Point / Junction is that it seems many of the "old school" BA / RB / local folks go to that location. This was my second year, and I will keep going there as long as they are cool with us (and I'd say aside from lack of porta pottys making folks use the back of businesses they have no reason to be upset with us).

Cheers!

 

I had one a month ago & it was more infected than an oozing sore. One of the foulest infections I've had in a while. Really glad the brewery was out of them when I got there...

 

I had one a couple weeks ago. My bottle definetly had signs of infection, but it wasn't as bad as some of these other peoples. Mine just had a slight tart cherry aspect. It was still completely drinkable, however, I'm glad I drank it when I did.

 

Must be something in the water up there. between CW and Oso...infection city.

 

Yea, I guess if a brewery can't do it successfully, they should just leave it to the pros.

 

People need to open their minds a bit. As soon as any beer is tabbed as "infected" it is all anyone can think about. We drank a bottle maybe 3 weeks ago and I was in love with it. My bottle had some subtle sour notes in the middle, but it made for an interesting and complex brew.

I am in Madison, if people want to sell their bottles DM me and we will work something out

 

People also need to open their minds to the fact that some beers are infected, & they suck.

I had no idea there were reports of infection & I was jazzed to get to try this beer. It was foul. Not interesting foul, but shitty, undrinkable, drain-pour foul.

 

Sorry, I definitely did not try to make this come across as I was questioning your tastes. My personal problem is every time I log onto BA, there are 3 threads on the homepage about different beers being infected.

I just want to discourage other from letting a thread influence them before the bottle is opened.

 

Oh, I agree that there's plenty of group-think that goes around the Interwebs (& BA might be worse than most places) but in this case, there's no doubt that this puppy has something terrible going on.

Although it does seem that I'm picking up more infected beers more often these days. Perhaps just an inevitable byproduct of too many people brewing who aren't quite ready to do whatever it is they're trying to do.

 

Filling 60 barrels that are all inoculated with some sort of bacteria in the middle of your brewhouse and not expect a problem, is the problem. I love the guys at Oso, but this could turn out to be an issue in the future.
