Just swing by the brewery and we can offer a replacement. For those of you who have bought bad bottles, we would be happy to offer you a replacement bottle. Today we begin the fun part of dumping Somer Weisse that is in kegs and bottles and working with our retail partners to remove the subpar product. Honestly, thanks to everyone on this thread for bringing the problem to our attention. Nonetheless, we wish we caught this problem ourselves and sooner. We continue to invest in equipment & people to improve our beers. We are constantly working on our recipe, processes and controls to put out the highest quality of beer possible. Batches 14, 17, and 18 all taste great and are how we designed/intend the beer to taste. The bad batches are batch #15 bottled on 8/28 and #16 bottled on September 4/5th (batch 16 bottled 8/28 is fine). It seems that some of the batches have become infected (way too sour and vinegary) and aren't to our standards. After reading this thread this morning we tasted 5 different batches of Somer Weisse. We never bottle beer that doesn't taste to our standards. Every bottle and every customer is critical to us. Being a small brewery we do our best to not let any bad product out the door and we are not afraid of dumping beer or recalling beer from store shelves (we have done it in the past). Hey All - Sorry to hear so many of you had a bad experience with Somer Weisse. Copy and pasted post from Rob Night Shift: They haven't used bourbon barrels nor made most of the typical -bal styles, so I don't want to write off their barrel program entirely based on creative swings for the fences. Extra beers have been available for purchase for all the releases. All the beers have been unique at least, and that means there's always a chance to stumble on something incredible. The caveats: A few were made with Brett, so it's possible they could get better/more interesting with time. They were definitely not done/carbed, but. I happened to be there when the brewers were tasting the society berliner weisse and barleywine. A barleywine fermented with maple syrup, aged in Jamaican rum barrels.The Barrel Society Community Beer - a sour red rye aged in wine barrels on on dark cherries.A Berliner Weisse aged in red wine barrels on blackcurrants & blackberries.Last 3 seem pretty legit, so here's hoping: At this point, it will really depend on the forthcoming releases. On that basis, I'd say I wouldn't ante up again (especially since this first membership was a gift). I kinda like Paradiso ( my review), but I expect most won't love it. The descriptions on the bottles have been so appealing, but in general the beer hasn't lived up to it. Most people I've talked to have been underwhelmed by most of the releases.
