Regular Bourbon County Stout 2015 Infection

[disapowzment]

Had my first taste of infected BCBS with powz87.

Tastes like BCBS+pennies+vomit. ******* hell. Can't wait to empty my closet of this roulette juice.

Was curious after catching up here. Tried 12NOV15 tonight, super delicious.

Is there a list of suspected bad bottle dates somewhere?

I just checked my last couple bottles, November 12.

Best part of that was the vertical camera video.

9/30/15 is drinking beautifully. No issues whatsoever.

Respectfully disagree.

What batch number are yours?

 

[wyatt1]

I'm glad I traded most of mine away. I bought 4 regular BCBS for a trading partner before the talks of infection started. Now I am worried they will be infected so I don't want to send them.

Ugh.

Looks like it is 0747:

Did you happen across a bad bottle from this date? I have a few more - we don't get a lot of BCBS in Pittsburgh - but I'll happily open a few more to see what the variation is like.

0747 is not a batch number.

 

[Kasher]

Not this batch number ******** again.

 

[Shakedwnst]

0747 is not a batch number.

What is it?

None of my 9/30 bottles have those 4 numbers after. Had 1154, and 1336 that were bad and 0916 that was good.

The number of the Pappy barrel.






It's the time it was lasered.

 

[TheBus]

All of this talk made me curious...so popped one and drain poured... Then popped the next one... down the drain... And then repeated one final time.

10/22 - 0839.... Garbage 3 times over.

These were purchased at the main Lincoln Park Binnys release. I hope others have better luck.

Interesting, this is the first I've heard of bad 9/30 bottles. Guess I need to start drinking my bottles in case they all turn

Can't wait for all you to drain pour yours and forget about this and next December I plan to harness the shitlord Inside and pimp my bottles on the basis that they're now part of a low bottle count release of BCBS. Just like all the variants. Super rarewaelzlyfe

Hold off for a couple years and maximize the value on that farm toilethouse bcbs varient.

I got an october bottling im opening on saturday. Not sure if its the dreaded 10/22 or another date. Regardless im going in with the expectation that its gonna be terrible.

 

[JBP]

I have had multiple 10/22 and 9/30 (only bottles I found this year). Both have been fine every time. They have all been in a room temperature closet since release for over 6 months with zero sign of infection.

Sounds like 2009 Abyss all over again.

I bought a case of that crap and only 2 out of 12 bottles were "clean" tasting. Ironically enough, one of the clean ones was stored hot hoping whatever bacteria was in it would go crazy and really turn it. I opened that pig 4 years later and son of a bitch if it wasnt the best 2009 bottling I had.

For those following along at home, that means you should put all your bcbs bottles in the microwave tonight. Just 3 minutes on 70% power should do the trick.

I've still yet to encounter a bad bottle of regular, be it one I opened or one a friend brought. The only Coffee bottle I've had this year was really mediocre, but not awful. Tasted tart to the degree that really acidic coffee does.

Haven't had barleywine but based on the reactions of some friends on Untappd (most notably brother_kenneth) I'm pretty sure that one is well ******.

 

[Kylo76]

These bottles will mostly all eventually turn if it is true that it is coming from the bottles, some will be slower than the others but its a foregone conclusion at this point. Luckily i have a case and a half im sitting on

Barleywine is absolutely repulsive at this point. My guess is that coffee will be the same by now, but I haven't tried that one again since around release time. All of my regular bottles (13.7) have been beautiful though. I've had around 20 so far.

Bacteria doesn't live in glass.

I'm assuming he means if the problem is improper sanitation of the bottles, but even then it's clearly not necessarily true that all/most will turn; too many variables at play.

The bottles as source of contamination is a farcical theory . Even if the bottles weren't sanitized at all, at most a small portion would be contaminated, not all of several varieties. It's from the barrels or the bottling line and I would guess the former. I bet GI is scrambling to figure out how to save 2017. Bourbon County Brand Stout Whiskey, anyone?

That's a lot of syrup barrels that just came available.

You're a farcical theory.

Has any one experienced any off bottles of Regal? I personally have not, but I did read a couple (though very few) stories on that "other site." I was fortunate to get a few bottles this past year and was hoping to age them, but I'm feeling a little paranoid given that the bottle/manufacturing time frames.

Most of those stories on the other site are idiots who don't realize that a beer with sour cherries, blackberries, and salt is going to have some tartness to it.

I hope you're right, but there was one credible person's review I wrote that gave me cause for panic. But I guess one bad bottle isn't cause for panic.

Breh do you even beer in 2016?

1 bad bottle?
