Deep clean or replace carpet after beer explosion

I wasn't sure where to put this, since it kinda covers a variety of topics and can apply to just about any car.

I've got a 2006 4runner SR5. For xmas, a friend gave me a bottle of Tactical Nuclear Penguin (google it). It was absolutely terrible, and only got worse when the temporary stopper exploded out on the drive home and blasted the back of my car with nasty beer.

I've already had the car shampooed, and I think most of it has been taken care of. However, there is a sizeable area directly below the back of the driver's seat that took the brunt of the spill. This area still reaks (sp?) of bad beer, even after the interior shampoo.

At this point, I'm not sure if I should continue trying to clean it, or if I should just plan on replacing the carpet (and possibly the pad underneath). Cleaning will be tough because it's all around the rear-right driver's seat mount and right up against that rise that goes through the middle of the car.

It also got all over the netting on the back of the driver's seat, and the flap that tucks underneath the driver's seat from the back. I'm not sure if those parts can be easily removed, cleaned, or replaced.

I thought about removing the driver's seat and cleaning it thoroughly with a little Bissel steam/vac cleaner. Does anyone have a good walkthrough for removing the seat?

I'm at a loss here... and I can't stand funky smells in my car. ANY advice is welcome!

Thanks in advance.
