Public Service Announcement: Sierra Nevada Recall

A friend of mine posted a news article on my Facebook feed this morning about a Sierra Nevada recall that has been issued, so in the interests of public safety I figured I'd also post about the recall, just in case folks haven't seen it yet.

Apparently there is an issue with some of the bottles coming out of the Mills River brewery in North Carolina. According to articles I have read, there are a limited number of bottles which have a defect that causes them to lose carbonation, and possibly also break on opening - with the attendant risk of that piece of glass falling into the bottle and potentially causing injury if unwittingly drunk.

The beers impacted by the recall are:

• Pale Ale, bottled between December 5th and January 8th
• Torpedo Extra IPA, bottled between December 5th and January 13th
• Tropical Torpedo, bottled between December 5th and January 13th
• Sidecar Orange Pale Ale, bottled between December 5th and January 13th
• Beer Camp Golden IPA, bottled between December 5th and January 13th
• Otra Vez, bottled between December 5th and January 13th
• Nooner Pilsner, bottled between December 5th and January 13th
• Hop Hunter IPA, bottled between December 5th and January 13th

For more details on the recall itself, see Sierra Nevada's website.

Thankfully the bottles of Narwahl I was given by Mrs V's cousin while we were in South Carolina over the holiday period are unaffected, and I don't think I actually have any other Sierra Nevada beer in the house at the moment, but do please go and check your stashes.
