Home of the BrewNosers

OK, silly title, but serious problem. I purchased my second bottle of Garrison tonight (after awhile of not buying any). The last bottle I bought was full of more float material than I have ever seen even in the worst homebrews (see my previous post). This one raises the bar. The thing is, it is a different kind of beer, purchased from a different NSLC. That suggests that whatever the problem is (new finings?), the issue is systematic. It might be time for a recall. Honestly, if I were a first time Garrison drinker this would be enough to turn me off forever. This can't be doing good things for their reputation.

The photos are pretty bad, but they get the issue across pretty clearly.

That is a lot of stuff. What do you think, yeast? general trub?
I can't tell which beer it is, maybe the Rye-IPA? So a month old.

See if you can make up a starter from it.
OR
Next time you're in the NSLC, take in the bottle and ask for an exchange or refund.

Looks like the Rye-IPA to me

i had a bottle that was clear at room temp (their IIPA) but when i cooled it in the fridge it looked like that - so i would guess definitely poor cold crashing.

Interesting.

The Rye IPA is at NSLC? If its Ass-kicker it was stated to be a completely screwed up batch.

Yup. The rye is at the Quinpool store.

Now, there's screwed up process (as in this isn't exactly the product we wanted: too high OG, etc.) and then there are giant chunks. (But it's a moot point, since it isn't just the Ass-kicker.)

Interesting. Major chill haze - advanced to "solid haze".....

Wonder if it's proteins or hop chunks....

I went back to the store and checked two more bottles. Both were the same. Huh.

Didn't they recently lose an employee???

Are you suggesting a " real dead guy ale "
