Musthave bought 6-7six packs of Brooklyn over the last three or fours months and have never had a bottle gush. Always store my beer upright as I have the space in my keggerator for a few six packs

I don't remember this every happening with brooklyn. perhaps you have a lilting gait?

The gushers I have had have had obvious causes. I remember buying a 750cl bottle of something belgian in Sweeneys in glasnevin, and standing in agony as the guy behind the counter gushed (boom boom) about what a lovely beer it was (which I already knew), all the while swinging it nonchalantly around like a baseball bat while waiting for my card to go through. I didn't have the heart to ask him to stop swinging my beer about, he just wanted to talk beer. Needless to say even leaving it an hour didn't do much, I had to employ sean's method (I almost called it the billings method ha) with a swift glass at the ready.

Was in O'Briens in Citywesy this evening and the price was still the same, i.e. over a tenner. Picked some up in Tesco for just over €8 so all's good. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

Never experienced the gushers though, or not so much that I noticed.

Actually opened a bottle last night that wasn't in the fridge too long, so it was a bit warm, and it didn't gush.

Maybe Biertourist's fridge has a dodgy motor and is shaking the bejaysus out of the beer? <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
But then that'd be the case for all beers I presume....

Just cracked a couple of bottles of this tasty brew, and no gushers. Had a look at the cap and the inside is rough as hell compared to other beer caps, could this be effecting the carbonation in the beer when they are stored on their side and causing the gushers? Carlsberg done an etched/stippled glass that released the co2 from the beer and keep the head on the pint many moons ago if i am not mistaken.
