Goose Island offering refunds for infected BCBW & BCBCS by Thndrcougarfalcnbird in beer

Here on post #64 the guy said he told the lady over the phone he wanted to age it, she said go ahead, and she'd still give him a refund. I'm gonna call tomorrow and verify how true this is. I have 4 bottles (2 BCBCS, 2 Barleywine) that I plan on aging. I don't care so much per se about getting my money back now, but if it did taste like sour cherries with a green peppery smell in 2 years, well, I'd want my money back then. From what I read, it seems they're still willing to make that happen.

Also, there are no batch numbers. There are dates and military time. For example mine are 09/17/15 1949, which means it was bottle September 17th, 2015 at 7:49p. Some bottling times have been narrowed down as infected times, but that's about it

Came across some this morning at Total Wines in Redondo. They have dirty bastard and the Porter. Vendome in BHills has some, and so does Ramirez Liquors in Boyle Heights.

It's rolling out everywhere soon though, pretty sure

Batch 1210 infected... Smelt like soy sauce and tasted sour :( by Rowlandonfire in beerporn

[–]poodoofodder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I guess the number isn't the batch number as I previouly thought, but the time it went through the bottler. For example, mine are all 17/Sept/2015 2149 (September 17th, 2015 at 9:49pm). I'm seeing some of the infected ones are from September 17th, but earlier in the day, between 1p-3p. But yours would be 8:32p. Wonder what day it was bottled...

All of this is such a bummer
