It's easy to lay off the meats when there's a product recall. But the beer? What will people do now that Sam Adams is going through a product recall? The Boston Beer Co. is recalling certain bottles because of glass in the brew. The company posted the following message on its website:

During a routine bottle inspection at one of our breweries, we detected possible defects in a small percentage of bottles resulting in the random presence of bits of glass, most the size of grains of sand, but some small slivers in some bottles as well. Based on this sample, we quickly began testing bottles of Samuel Adams at all of our breweries and identified that the problem appeared to be isolated to a single glass plant of the five that supply us.

If you are opening a cold one, read the bottom of the glass. The Herald notes that the skunked Sam Adams bottles "are embossed with the letter 'N,' followed by the number '35' and the letters 'OI.'" Those with bad bottles will get a refund.

We would have made a joke about a Sam Adams' new flavoring going horribly awry, but b0st0n LiveJournal beat us to it.
