Fridge affecting bottled beer?

Offer still stands on Pliny the Elder...

I was only able to get my hands on one bottle, I've a friend heading to California soon might ask him to bring some back. I'm also hoping the only bottle I have left in the keezer is ok, it's a 200 fathoms, hopefully the wax will stop any chance of ruining it. Don't worry I took it out yesterday. And I'm going to bleach everything inside it and find some better mold prevention.

It's not my own beer is the problem but beer I've bought from the offie. Only had one bottle left in fridge so I'm going to keep my beer in a different fridge from now on.

It might sound simple but could it be your glassware? If glasses are stored stacked any condensation/dampness will create a smell which will come through on any beer. Have a good sniff of your glasses and dump any dodgy ones

I really can't see how a smell in a fridge could affect the inside of a sealed bottle. Had a family function recently, and someone decided to precariously balance a tray of devilled eggs inside my kegerator, which promptly fell off, and weren't found by me until I came back from holidays. The stench was quite something, and stank out the whole shed if I just opened the door. It took me another week to actually clean it out, and in the meantime I drank several bottles of beer, and there was no taint to them at all.

Stop pooping in your bottling bucket.
And bring a bottle from a few different batches with the off flavor to the next meet so that we can taste them all and identify the common off-flavor.
