"During a routine bottle inspection at one of our breweries, we detected possible defects in a small percentage of bottles resulting in the random presence of bits of glass, most the size of grains of sand, but some small slivers in some bottles as well. Based on this sample, we quickly began testing bottles of Samuel Adams at all of our breweries and identified that the problem appeared to be isolated to a single glass plant of the five that supply us,"announced the Samuel Adams breweries, causing many drinkers to drop their beer.
Bottles with N35 OI on the bottom could potentially contain glass shards. The site linked above has more information about the recall, the potential for glass shards in the bottles, and what to do should you have any of those bottles. I don't believe the instructions include pouring the beer through a very fine strainer.
