Chicago Gets Googled
From Drive-Thru (and a few readers), Sam Adams has recalled some of their bottled beer. The reason? They "believe a small proportion of bottles from our outside glass supplier could contain some small bits of glass" from one of their five bottle plants. Affected bottles are embossed with the digits "N35" followed by the letters "OI" on the bottom of the bottle. If you have any of these bottles, take them back.

This is the kind of thing that can stick with a beer company for a long time as one of those rumors where people say they purposely put glass in the bottle because it causes small cuts in your stomach that increases the absorption of the alcohol or some such stupid thing. Note that if this does become a rumor some years down the road, you heard it here first.
Maybe if I was 16 and lived in Central IL I'd believe something like that.
I'd still order a shard-filled Sam Adams over a Bud Light any day.

I don' think most people (myself included) are trying to get maximum alcohol absorption from Sam Adams. That is what a 30-case of HighLife is for ;) Same price as a 12-pack of Sam Adams, without the wonderful flavor.
