I just got the e-mail at work.

Class 2 recall. Product not for sale. Please pull from shelves.
Product will be destroyed or dumped immediately.
This is a quality control issue and will be dealt with as soon as possible.



Just thought some of you would want to know, so don't expect to see this for a while now.

This thread isn't going to be pretty, is it?

If I weren't at work, I would Google a suitable image to express my feelings on this.

For now, this will have to do:

I cant post an internal document, but I'll try to get a little more info on this as it becomes available.

It was on the shelves?!?

I wonder if the decision was made by the LCBO or DDC? Or by Satan?

Good for the LCBO. Who knows what the lax health regulations are in the third world country this beer came from, so it is a good thing they tested it out for us and determined it wasn't for our consumption. I'm just concerned because I was drinking this beer at Volo a week and a half ago.

Not technically, but it is a pre-worded e mail that comes down with a product number and the reason.

For those in the know, what are the classes of recall? I only found a couple of references to Class 2 Recall and they dealt with a particular substance exceeding a threshhold (a la Cantillon Kriek). Class 1 Recalls appear to be an immediate safety issue that requires a public announcement.

You don't know the details and neither do I. You're getting way ahead of yourself friend. Take it easy and I'll post what I can when I am able to do so.

IBUs exceed the maximum allowed in Ontario. I believe the provincial cap is around 30.

Anyway, Len's right, until the reason becomes apparent its hard to pass judgment. Unless, of course, you operate using occam's razor.
