Does anybody want to trade me a 4-pack of Terapin Wake N Bake and a 4-pack of Terapin Moo Hoo?

I can make this happen. Where are you located/what do you have to trade? I'm into awesome German/Belgian/English styles mostly.

Somebody in Florida send me some Cigar City Oderus Ale please. In return I'll send you Wicked Weed beers or fancy brewery only Sierra Nevada stuff or anything around Asheville.

Nobody should be jealous of somebody buying cases of Wicked Weed. Great beers on tap, terrible in bottles (and expensive, too).

We're working hard to ensure this doesn't happen anymore. We set up a brand new lab when the production facility opened and have a QA supervisor who knows his poo poo. I haven't had any off bottles in a long time but we don't pasteurize the beer and a decent amount of the beers get packaged at a low carbonation level and finish off in the bottle so there will always be some bottle variation. If you do ever get an off bottle contact us and we'll do our best to make things right.

Bottles are sanitary straight off the pallet, there's really no realistic way you'd get an infection from your glass.

More likely at the filling machines, right?

You can get infections at bottle/keg/can fillers if they aren't cleaned properly but it's not very common. With barrel aged beers the main infection point would definitely be in the barrel.

Those should also be entirely aseptic and if they aren't it's because someone royally hosed up.

Beer bottle fillers generally aren't asceptic, that's more for dairy and beverages that can harbor bacteria harmful to humans. They should be properly cleaned and sanitized to kill any beer spoiling organisms though and I'm sure Goose Island does a fine job with that.
