Why THP is bad for beer and what you can do about it

I've breed for years, and have tasted brews from plenty of small breweries. Off-tastes that take 6 months to clear?

Seems to me that there are two choices: (a) either this guy is totally full of himself - you know, like the wine snob who tastes blueberries from the south side of the Alps in Spring after a rainfall. Or else (b) he has hygiene problems in his brewing and bottling.

Since he sounds professional, I'll go with option (a).
