Light Beer Fans Need To Know About This Molson Coors Recall

A startlingly slimy situation that has shocked beer drinkers in recent days has led to a recall of select cases of some of the most popular varieties of light beer. According to Snopes, the Chicago-based beverage maker Molson Coors – the parent company of major beer brands like Coors, Keystone Light, Leinenkugel's, and Miller — issued a limited recall of two of its most ubiquitous beers in the wake of some questionable videos posted to social media.

An early indication of the recall was a notice posted by the St. Louis-based grocery chain Dierbergs Markets, made in accordance with a voluntary recall by the beer maker, which offered refunds on select 12-packs of Coors Light and Keystone Light beers. According to the recall, the impacted beers were produced solely at the company's Trenton Brewery in Trenton, Ohio, indicating that beers made elsewhere are in the clear.

In a statement regarding the recall, a spokesperson for Molson Coors said, "We recently became aware of an issue on only one canning line at only one of our breweries that supplies these two beers to a relatively small number of states. The impacted product does not pose a food-health risk, but it doesn't meet our quality standards," noting that "there are no food-safety issues related to either beer" (via Fox 8). Although the company didn't specify the reason for the recall, Snopes says the likely culprit is a recent series of viral videos showing thick slime pouring out of the beer cans.
