What is my attitude? Civil? Fair? I think so. If only that were actually trendy.

I don't know what turdcorn is, but that sounds like an accurate description of Milwaukee's Best. Yeast infections are bad. Beer can certainly get infected though any number of bacteria. You don't want infected beer; it's gross. There are classic beer styles over a thousand years old (lambic, guezue, some Saisons) that are spontaneously fermented b the yeast in the open air. These beers have naturally occurring Brettanomyces yeast which causes funky, barnyard, horseblanket flavors (this yeast is absolutely feared by winemakers. Funk is a definite flaw in wine, but in beer it can be something transcendent) and they can also have some bacteria, such as lactobacillus or pediococcus, that cause lactic or acetic sourness in a beer. When controlled, those bugs can do nifty things in beer. But you don't want your bottles or brewing equipment to get overtaken by those bacteria; that's how infections happen.

Maybe turdcorn is huitlacoche? Wonder if anyone has ever worked that into the brewing process.
