I pulled this one out of the fridge tonight and noticed immediately a few floaties. I decided to check it out closer with more light and saw lots and lots of floaties and a few globs. Yikes. Is this normal? Bottling date says October 11.

It's just yeast/protein that has settled out. The beer is not filter so there is no way around floates other then drinking it when fresh.

Uh, no.
Maybe it would be more constructive to correct him rather than just stating that he is wrong?

Garrison seems to use a very loose and poorly flocculating yeast strain. It is hit and miss with them as to whether you get lots of floaties or not.
The bottom line is, filtered or not, there is no reason to have that much junk in a beer. It speaks to poor brewhouse process, and based on how this beer has tasted since Greg Nash left, i am not surprised.
