I think it is fast becoming a deliberate ploy to indicate a naff beer, or the unexpected. (Except in Cracklemeister's case.) Fruit beers are the worst; didn't Steinbeck write 'The Grapes of Froth'?

There's a small brewery in Belgium called Alvinne who had a reputation for producing "gushers". You could tell whether a bar person knew their beer. If you ordered Alvinne, those that knew what they were doing would have the glass ready for the inevitable explosion.

I forgot once and I think I ended up with about 2cm of beer left in the bottle and the rest sprayed around the kitchen.

It turned out there was a design flaw in the brewery, so a part of it wasn't being cleaned properly and some kind of infection got in. It took them years to discover the problem.

Nice head..

And, finally, I promise, @DP's nightmare, where his beer is contaminated due to a cleaning issue; In Dubious Bottle.
I think I saw @DP on his way back from a local farm, carrying some of his ingredients. He admitted that he'd been on a few "Travels with Barley".
