I didn't have a single sour beer from last year.

LUCKY! I was 1 for 3 on my bottles (all regular BCS) for them being good.

Edit: they were infected again this year, but it was caught before release, hence the lack of volume compared to years' past. Heard something like a tenth of distribution, per a local distributor. Yes, people were fired.

Yeah, most places gots case if they were lucky.

My two stores got none. Had to trade for mine. Their distributor felt horrible. Had to tell dozens of stores, "Yep, no BCS this year. Period."

Flagship beer, and screwed it up two years in a row. What in the hell are you doing over there?

That being said, Abyss and variants soon to hit the stores. Yum. And Surly BA Darkness in the next month or two.
 
Re: EMERGENCY - I'm drinking and the old drinking thread is closed!

Also, I doubt people were fired.

Um, when you ruin a flagship beer, dumping (reportedly) a ton of beer? Heads are gonna roll. 2nd year in a row. They just caught it in time this year. BBDL is still owed $70 in refunds from last year. Just sayin'.

I had 5. They still haven't paid me back. I finally got a response from them today, but will wait until I have a clearer head before responding. I will never buy another beer from them, but I really want that **** $70 check.

I dunno. Batches at work are scrapped at work a number of times a year. It happens.

I know one distributor got 115~ cases last year, plus some cases of variants, and this year he got no variants and less than 10 cases, due to the problem. That's not right.
 
Re: EMERGENCY - I'm drinking and the old drinking thread is closed!

Yeah, but it happens. Who are you going to fire? The brewmaster? The floor staff?

Inbev probably just indiscriminately dropped a cleaver and cut people. Seems like something a company with their track record would do.

You know is the best?

Hot chocolate made with hot milk, a couple tablespoons of Dutch process cocoa, two tablespoons of sugar, and topped off with Kahlua.

I dunno, The Cosby from last weekend was pretty solid..........:D
 
Re: EMERGENCY - I'm drinking and the old drinking thread is closed!

Did score another bottle of Bell's Black Note Stout over the weekend. That was a nice surprise. Waiting for the Abyss (and variants) to hit this market. Should be any time now.
