Sierra Nevada Recalls Beers Sold In Minnesota And Wisconsin

Sierra Nevada is recalling its bottled beers in 36 states including Minnesota and Wisconsin because small pieces of glass could break off into the bottle.

Sierra Nevada is one of the largest craft breweries in the U.S. and released the recall in a press release. No injuries have been reported, but the brewery believes the broken glass flaw affects one in every 10,000 bottles. It's better to be safe than sorry, so the brewery is taking extra precautions.

The beers being recalled will have a packaging date that falls within the range with a code of “M” (Mills River) and not “C” (Chico), here's the list:

•  Pale Ale 12-ounce bottles in 6-, 12- and 24-pack (cases) packaged 12/5/16-1/8/17
