VA – Three Notch’d Brewing Company voluntarily recalls several types of beer

link: www.wric.com/news/vi... Posted in Beers, Business of Beer, Health on   

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — Three Notch’d Brewing Company has issued a voluntary recall of several different types of beer due to the company claiming the quality of the beer was not up to standards. After undergoing quality testing, the brewery said an “oxidized metallic flavor” was found to be present in the beer through “accelerated shelf life testing.”
Three Notch’d said there is no reason to believe there is a safety issue with these products, but that it will be voluntarily recalling the beer because it “fails to meet our [the company’s] high standards.”
Recalled Beer
King of Clouds 4/6/16oz – canned between 2/21/23 and 3/13/23
40 Mile 6/4/12oz – canned between 3/7/23 and 3/9/23
Hop Variety Pack 2/12/12oz – packaged between 3/8/23 3/27/23
Hop Variety Pack 24/12oz – packaged between 3/8/23 and 3/27/23
You can check to see if your beer is impacted by checking the date it was packaged — found on the can itself or on the stickers on the box.

Those found to be in possession of the impacted beer can bring the product to any Three Notch’d location in Virginia for an immediate replacement. The brewing company has five locations across the Commonwealth, including Richmond, Charlottesville, Harrisonburg, Roanoke and Virginia Beach.
“If you have any questions about this notice please do not hesitate to reach out,” Three Notch’d said in a release. “Our top priority is the health and safety of our customers. We pledge to learn from this and redouble our efforts to brew and package only the finest and freshest beers in Virginia. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and support.”

The Pliny is coming! But only online orders this year…

PLINY THE YOUNGER RELEASE
Pliny the Younger 2021 Release Cancelled at Both Breweries Due to COVID-19, Bottles Available ONLINE Only
Like most major beer releases and other special events during this COVID-era, we are hitting the pause button and scaling back our annual 2021 Pliny the Younger release! Planning for the 2021 Younger release has been a huge topic of discussion for Vinnie, Natalie and key employees throughout 2020. It is very difficult to plan for much of anything these days, let alone a major beer release which draws thousands of visitors from all over the world to our 2 breweries in Sonoma County. We have had to make some hard decisions based on many factors, first and foremost being the health and safety of not only our employees and customers, but also the community in which we live. Our business operations are also dependent upon both state and local health orders which can change, and likely will continue to change, at anytime. Therefore, there will be no in person release at either brewery this year. While we are sad to miss seeing our loyal friends and fans from around the world, it has become clear that it will not be safe for us to gather again by February. Neither of our pubs have been allowed to reopen for indoor dining since we closed in March 2020 due to the unrelenting spread of the highly contagious coronavirus. In December, we had to shut down outdoor dining again due to a major virus surge which continues to ravage all of California. Although our Downtown Santa Rosa pub is still operating with takeout only, our Windsor pub will remain completely closed until further notice.

We just brewed this year’s 4 batches of Pliny the Younger, which is about 1/3 of what we produced last year. Our signature 510ml bottles will be available for sale as part of a mixed case for a limited time through our website for direct shipping to consumers within the state of California. Vinnie and Natalie plan to host a couple of virtual tastings during what would be our normal release time in February via Facebook LIVE! We are also taking this year off from wholesale draft distribution as the majority of our accounts who would carry Younger are either closed or only able to offer takeout. More importantly, we are very concerned for the health and safety of our wholesale accounts and their employees. Large crowds tend to gather wherever Younger is available, which can lead to unintended and dire consequences during a global pandemic. The last thing we want is to be responsible for creating super spreader event. We want everyone to be around enjoying Pliny the Younger in 2022! So please grab a beer and keep reading to learn all the details of our modified 2021 Younger release!

Brewdog Reports Theft of Trailer Load of Beer Worth £150K

link: www.thedrinksbusines... Posted in Beers, Business of Beer, Just for fun, UK on   


Scottish Brewery BrewDog reported the theft of an entire trailer load of beer, worth £150,000, from a motorway service station in Cheshire.
In a tweet on March 24th, BrewDog co-founder James Watt explained that the crime occurred on the way to the brewer’s online distribution center.
The beer, believed to be cans of Punk IPA, was taken from the trailer while it was parked at the Moto Lymm services in Cheshire on Tuesday at around 7:45am.

Really? 7:45 in the morning (rush hour most places) and no one saw a team of crooks unloading 26 pallets of beer from a truck parked at a gas station?

Watt said that there would be a temporary shortage of the beer online due to the theft, but said every effort would be made to increase the stock.

BrewDog’s website is now showing the beer as in stock.

Lakefront Brewery recalls bottled beer because of ‘risk of explosion’
MILWAUKEE — Lakefront Brewery announced today that anyone with bottles of My Turn Junk beer should either refrigerate or carefully dispose of them. Brewery representatives say it’s been discovered that the beer contains wild yeast from the cherries it was brewed with, which continued to ferment. Subsequently, CO2 builds up in the bottles, making them at risk for explosion.

NE-IPA’s Quest for “Juicy” Has Led Us Toward Increasingly Undrinkable Beer, and “Hop Burn” is the Culprit

link: www.pastemagazine.co... Posted in Beer culture, Beers, Brewing, Hops, Trends on   

Paste Magazine has an interesting article up. If you’ve noticed an uptick in the number of bad “hazy” IPAs, this article discusses the reasons why. Blindly brewing juicy / hazy beers, and doing so badly, has caused an increase in “hop burn,” via Paste:

And that’s a problem, because the simple truth is that there does exist a point of diminishing returns, when it comes to simply adding more and more hops to a brew kettle, fermenter or brite tank. These aren’t one-to-one correlations, as much as we’d like for them to be. “Twice the Citra” doesn’t necessarily mean “twice as juicy,” in terms of the consumer’s perception of the eventual flavor of that beer. In fact, it might even mean the opposite.
