Samuel Adams has issued a recall of some of their beer. Apparently some of the bottles of their beer have glass in them. That’s “in” not “made of”. The glass could be anywhere from the size of sand to a sliver.

The bottles of beer which are trouble are embossed with the letter “N,” followed by the number “35″ and the letters “OI”. No one has reported a problem with the glass, but I’m sure the lawsuits will come soon anyway. Any takers on which state will be the first to report their child drank glass from the bottle?

The Boston Beer Company states “People who bite or swallow a fragment could possibly be injured.” So don’t bite the beer bottles. The product recall is voluntary. Ironically the one bit of information never provided is which beer is affected. I am assuming it is only the Samuel Adams lager, but you might want to check the other flavors as well.

Boston Beer Company has urged consumers to call Boston Beer at 1-888-674-5159 for more information or access its recall Web site .
