Sierra Nevada recalls bottled beer due to hazard

Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. on Sunday issued a recall in the Midwest, South and East Coast of some of its bottled beer.

The recall affects certain varieties of beer in 12-ounce bottles produced at the company's Mills River, North Carolina, brewery.

The recall involves a flaw that could allow glass to break and fall inside the bottle.

"While we believe this concern impacts roughly one in every 10,000 of our bottles packaged during this time, Sierra Nevada has set the standard for quality in the craft brewing industry since 1980 and we have decided to take this precaution to ensure the safety of our consumers," a company statement reads.

The affected beer was bottled at the North Carolina brewery between Dec. 5 and Jan. 8 for the company's pale ale variety and between Dec. 5 and Jan. 13 for others.
