Oh, I see, they just need photos of the date, more or less. I have five affected.

Drinking Magic Rock's sour beer 'Contortionist' on tap. It's so good. Not face-meltingly sour, but not mild either.

Finally found a sour that was kinda meh instead of really good or better: New Belgium's Tart Lychee.

Have you tried Uinta Brewing's Ready, Set, Gose? It is bordering on undrinkable.
― http://porno (DJP), Friday, 15 July 2016 18:23 (seven years ago) link
No, haven't seen that one. Sours are still trying to get a market foothold down here.

Lindeman's Kriek, Amuse Gooseberry, Sourdough. The second one was amazing!

Checked my remaining bourbon counties, 1 infected prop, 2 infected reg. Annoying, especially with the prop because I never got a chance to try it.
― Jeff, Saturday, 16 July 2016 15:20 (seven years ago) link
Also, the buyback price of the prop is $10 under list, right?
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 16 July 2016 16:23 (seven years ago) link
I only have one and it's on the list :(
I take it the barleywine is safe? Have one of those, too.

Green Flash Sea to Sea lager. Good stuff for the summer.

Xpost I think barleywine and coffee were determined to be infected months ago, with refund.

(re: coffee and barleywine)
Yeah I still have a barleywine. Wish they would still take it in this recall. It's not like it has gotten any less infected.

Many xps but I think that every gose is undrinkable

So maybe this is a dumb question, but just because a BCS was within the range of dates for possible infection doesn't mean it WILL develop the flavor issues that the brewers describe, right? I mean, the bottles I've tasted were fine (regular and prop)...
Just trying to convince myself there's hope for my remaining bottles.
― pratt truss it (dan m), Sunday, 17 July 2016 18:28 (seven years ago) link
No expert, but I think there is hope. But FWIW, just opened my prop and it's bourbon county sour. Not horrible but it tasted like a stout with tart cherries.
― Jeff, Sunday, 17 July 2016 19:20 (seven years ago) link
I think beer nerds add baking soda or baking powder or something to put the pH back in balance?
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 17 July 2016 19:40 (seven years ago) link
My one bottle of BC (the regular) is one of the dates in question. I'm just gonna drink it, but am wondering if drinking sooner rather than later would be advised.
― nickn, Sunday, 17 July 2016 20:04 (seven years ago) link
I traded for 15 Prop and now am scared to open it. Even early on people said it was sickly sweet with hints of guajillo.
Over/under on Regal Rye & Prop developing issues?
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Monday, 18 July 2016 01:52 (seven years ago) link
i guess i should crack all these soon and never buy bottled bcbs again

Funny enough, GI just revealed that 2016 Prop adjuncts will be maple cacao chipotle... :-/

Barf. Stop putting peppers in beer.

The best bourbon county variant I ever had was Ghost Pepper Bourbon county at the first FOBAB I went to. But in general, I agree with you.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 19 July 2016 01:42 (seven years ago) link
opened my '15 barleywine tonight. awful. down the drain.
now having a 10/12/15 bcbs. not totally gone yet but the off flavors are starting to creep in.
a few weeks ago i drank one that was either from the 10/12 or 10/23 run and it was tasting good. drink 'em now if you have them.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 19 July 2016 02:27 (seven years ago) link
What a disaster.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 19 July 2016 02:29 (seven years ago) link
That blows. I have the last three years of regular and barleywine, was so stoked to complete the sixer this past fall.
― pratt truss it (dan m), Tuesday, 19 July 2016 02:43 (seven years ago) link
I think I'll open my 10/23 this week. Friday is a special enough occasion if nothing else crops up.

My bad... that was for Maple Rye. 2016 Prop will be reg BCBS aged in Scotch barrels.

Had my one BCBS a few days ago, it was on the "bad" list but it tasted fine.

I predict you'll love NvUnicorn best. 5 Lizard least.

i'm most excited for NvU and Zombie Dust. i've had neither in the past.
― Mordy, Monday, 1 August 2016 20:24 (seven years ago) link
NvU cans almost look too pretty to drink
You should check out the art on this local beaut: http://www.halfacrebeer.com/vallejo-ipa/
Beats the usual bullshit for sure.
Zombie Dust is really good, too, but I think NvU gives more bang for the buck, and it's soon much easier to find. Not that ZD is hard to find, but takes at least a modicum of planning.

In other news, I got my rebate check from Goose Island, so good for them.

i quite like the 5lizard and all the other stuff i've had from them
summer for me has been mostly wheat beers, farmhouse ales, light sours. i tried a bunch of stuff from transmitter, they are making some very cool farmhouse ales. they are moderately pricy but i spent about a week in july packing all our stuff for a move so it was a nice reward to have a different transmitter bottle each night. W1 was possibly the best witbier i've ever had. the worst of them was a rye saison, i've never seen a saison that dark, maybe another time of the year it would be very good but on a 90 degree day after packing boxes all day it was pretty gross
― marcos, Friday, 5 August 2016 18:42 (seven years ago) link
i'm feeling like i am losing my taste for IPAs, i've been gradually moving away from them over the past couple years but lately i just don't really enjoy them
― marcos, Friday, 5 August 2016 18:44 (seven years ago) link
I find myself going for regular pale ales where I would have gone for IPAs in the past. Pilsners too.
― pratt truss it (dan m), Friday, 5 August 2016 18:52 (seven years ago) link
im a stout and doppelbock guy
quite like wheat beers and dark beers too
so even tho i partake in the whole craft beer scene im the odd one out because everyone loves ipa/dipa
having said that i had pliny the elder for the first time last night and it was pleasant, bottled july 20th, so it tasted pretty fresh
― F♯ A♯ (∞), Friday, 5 August 2016 19:34 (seven years ago) link
i'll still enjoy an IPA every once in a while but i can't regularly drink them anymore
