Sam Adams Recall

[ANC]

This email got sent to me from Sam Adams and is also in the news.

As a loyal supporter and fan of our beer, we wanted to get in touch with you about an announcement that we made yesterday. We have announced a cautious, voluntary product recall of some bottles of Samuel Adams. While there is no problem with our beer, we believe a small proportion of bottles from our outside glass supplier could contain some small bits of glass.

The bottles we've identified as being possibly affected are from one glass plant of the five that we get our bottles from. The issue affects less than 25% of our bottled beer and of that amount, we believe far less than 1% of the bottles we're recalling are actually affected. We have no reports of any injury from our drinkers related to this issue. But because the safety of our drinkers is of paramount concern to us, we are being cautious and issuing the recall for all bottles from this glass plant.

But not to worry, this doesn't mean that you have to stop drinking Samuel Adams! All draft beer is perfectly fine and most of our bottled beer is not in these possibly affected bottles. It's easy to spot the bottles we're recalling: they are all embossed to say "N35" at the base of the bottle below the label (see photo on web site). We are working with our wholesalers and retailers to ensure that the affected bottles are removed from stores quickly.

We wanted to be sure that our loyal Sam fans are aware of the problem and know that we are doing everything we can to address this situation quickly. We are disappointed that because of these bottles supplied to us, we didn't live up to your expectations as a loyal Sam Adams drinker. We believe that we are taking all the right steps to ensure that the bottled Samuel Adams beer out there meets our quality standards and your expectations. If you have any questions about the recall, we created a special web site (http://e.samueladams.com/h/78M/I5E/ID/OF4FV) and a toll-free number 1-888-674-5159 to answer your questions.

As always, we appreciate your support.

Cheers,
Andrew & Bert

What? No free beer coupon?

They should recall the entire factory for producing beer with a funky aftertaste.

Blech.

I like Sam Adams, never found it to have a bad aftertaste.

We have no reports of any injury from our drinkers
Sam Adams doesn't beat around the bush with PR. You're not our customer, your our alcoholic.

[cupcakelove]

They want me to send them beer? I don't think so.

Do I at least get points for being functional?

... just sayin

[Doctor Z]

Oh, I would've thought they'd recall their beer because it sucks.

[BlackSpider]

I agree,
and thanks for the warning.

[BlackSpider]

Just looked at the case I bought yesterday, as well as the empties from the last case.
Both were recalled. Too bad I drank a case of it already.
I filled out a form at their site, and they are reimbursing people for the beer.
So, now I'm down to three beers all of a sudden, but I got $60 coming to me...

I gave Sam Adams A LOT of chances mainly due to the fact that they were very cool with O&A.

Everyone of their beers I've tried have had a funky aftertaste and were just not that spectacular compared to other beers.

Only thing I ever liked was their fall beer, but it wasn't so great that I ever looked for it again.

Give me MGD anyday.

I think this might be relevant to a story I heard from a friend a couple weeks ago. He works for a company that picks up trucks that either wreck or break down. He said recently they picked up a truck delivering Sam Adams bottles that had tipped over. The bottles were empty, I guess they were delivering them to the bottling plant or something. Anyway, he said that he had to hire a bunch of guys to go through the wrecked trailer. They had to sort through the broken bottles, recover the bottles that didn't break and give them back to whatever company that was trucking the bottles.

Is this relevant to this story? I have no idea.

great time for the Bass company to run a commercial

drink Bass, not glass

I think what you're probably tasting that's funky to you is the hops they use. I happen to like a strong hop flavor in beer. It's not for everybody though. I'll take an MGD or a High Life, but I can't stand any Bud, Coors, Amstel. They just tastes like corn to me.

Beer update.
I just got a check from Sam Adams for $72.00 for the recalled beer I purchased.
But in the meantime, I switched to Blue Moon.
