Sam Adams recalls beer

Now the recall mania has hit beer lovers.

 

Today we told you about Malt-o-Meal cereal being recalled, and now comes word that Sam Adams is recalling beer because some bottles might have glass fragments in them. Only 12 oz bottles of Sam Adams beer in brown bottles are being recalled. The bottles are from a third party that supplies bottles to Sam Adams, and the glass was discovered during routine inspection at its Cincinnati plant. The bad bottles have an "N35" and then an "OI" stamped near the bottom (see pic).

 

This is one of my nightmares about drinks and food that come in glass bottles, whether it's beer or pasta sauce or mustard or whatever. I'm really surprised that something like this doesn't happen more often.

 

Whats the big deal? A REAL beer drinker can drink beer and chew glass at the same time..... :P

Hell, real beer drinkers stick the full bottles in the freezer, and then eat them whole, bottle, cap, and all, while frozen. They call it "dinner." Or they can stick a bratwurst inside it first and then call it a sandwich.
