Got a bad 12 pack - what should I do?

[RIT_Warrior]

So I bought a mixer 12 pack of Ipswich today...and it wasn't good. I've opened 3 beers, and every one of them has had a terrible aftertaste. I want to say a cross between "cooked corn" and "sulphur", but I'm not entirely sure.

I bought the same 12 pack last week which was great, so I'm not sure what was going on. So what should I do?

1. Take the rest of the beers back to the store?
2. Inform Ipswich about the bad batch?
3. Just accept that these things happen?

I've never really had a bad commercial beer before, but these ones have definitely gone bad. Actually it tastes very similar to an absolutely putrid batch of homebrew I made a few months ago, still don't know what happened to that one.

2. Inform Ipswich about the bad batch?

Yes

You can try the local store but I wouldn't get concerned until after I talked to the brewery.

You should take the beer back to the store and they might give you some money back or another 12 pack. I would also inform the brewery.

Contact the brewery. They want to know about these QC issues and will often at least replace the product you purchased.

I would email the brewery. I did this with victory a year or so ago with a 6er of old horizontal i bought that was over carbonated. They shipped me out 6 more!

go with #1 and 2. Most places wanna hear if they have a problem with their brews so they can correct it. You will probably get thanked in the end...

Alright, I just sent an email to Ipswich. I'll let everyone know how they respond. I also talked to a co-worker who used to work in a liquor store, and he said to take the rest of the 12er back, and that I should be able to exchange it at the liquor store for a new one.
