On Sunday Sierra Nevada Brewing issued a voluntary 36 state recall involving select 12-ounce bottles that may contain a small glass packaging flaw.
This recall comes after quality inspections at the brewery’s new Mills River, North Carolina, location revealed that a very limited number of bottles had a flaw that could possibility cause them to break and potential glass shard deposits to fall within the bottles, which of course no one needs.
This from The brewery’s website…
While we believe this concern impacts roughly 1 in every 10,000 (0.01%) of our bottles packaged during this time, Sierra Nevada has set the standard for quality in the craft brewing industry since 1980 and we have decided to take this precaution to ensure the safety of our consumers. To-date, we have not received any consumer reports of injuries resulting from the potentially affected bottles and we are working with our suppliers to determine the root cause of the issue.
States effected by this include: Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Vermont, Wisconsin, West Virginia and the District of Columbia
Certain run dates of the brewery’s Pale Ale, Torpedo Extra IPA, Tropical Torpedo, Sidecar Orange Pale Ale, Beer Camp Golden IPA, Otra Vez, Nooner, and Hop Hunter IPA are included in this recall and you can check out the details and specifics HERE.
