Few seek Sam Adams beer refunds, company says

Boston Beer Co., which Monday recalled Samuel Adams beer in bottles that could contain glass particles, said relatively few customers have sought refunds or advice. As of yesterday afternoon, 571 customers had sought help at a call center, the company said, and a website which allows consumers to check bottle codes and request refunds had received only 2,300 visits.

A spokeswoman said it is too soon to say how much the recall would cost Boston Beer Co. It involves different varieties of Samuel Adams brand beer in 12-ounce glass bottles that are marked with the code N35 OI.

To learn more about the recall, consumers can call 888-674-5159 or visit consumerinfo.samadams.com.
