Sierra Nevada Beer Recalled

A glass packaging flaw has led to the recall of certain batches of 12-ounce bottles of beer made by the Sierra Nevada Beer Co.

Quality inspections detected some bottles with a flaw that may lead to loss of carbonation and for a small piece of glass to break off and possibly fall into the bottle, posing an injury risk, the company said.

The recall covers the following products:

  • Pale Ale 12-ounce bottles in 6-, 12- and 24-pack (case) formats
  • Torpedo Extra IPA 12-ounce bottles in 6-, 12- and 24-pack (case) formats
