    Has anybody had any recent Westbrook cans/bottles explode. My local store has had several cans of IPA and One Claw explode on the shelves in the last week or so.

    I haven't had any explode, but I've definitely had some issues with over-carbed cans. I had to drain pour an entire sixer of one claw a few weeks back because the beer was over carbonated and tasted infected.

    There's definitely been some infected One Claw around here. I had a can blow up, and I know the bottle shops here have been having some problems as well.

    We have become aware of some problems with a batch or two and trying our best to figure out what it was and to make sure it doesn't happen again

    No issue with the Gose that I've heard of, or had myself.

    I haven't had any issues with the one claw, but admit that I only had 2 6-packs of it recently, and all but 2 cans remain and they have been fine.

    I shipped some, with some gose and ipa recently and had no issues.

    It was mainly one batch of one claw. Gose is fine

    This was about a 3rd of a beer. I had 2 different 6 packs with different canning dates do the same thing.

    Glad the Gose is good to go(se)! :slight_smile: Having a case sent my way, don't need anything exploding on me.

    I work for the distributor (so I have a LOT of accounts) and have had only one report, with One Claw Cans, of which a couple of cans exploded.

    This was the batch I had issues with... I've got a batch from August in the fridge now and it's carbed perfectly and tasting great!

    That beer is just angry that you put it in a red solo cup.
