Alltech is recalling the entire run of its seasonal Kentucky Pumpkin Barrel Ale along with a batch of its Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale.
Susanna Elliott, spokeswoman for the Nicholasville-based nutrition company and parent of Alltech Lexington Brewing and Distilling Co., stressed that the recall is voluntary and was spurred by quality, not safety, issues.
“These particular batches did not meet our stringent quality standards for flavor and color,” company officials said in a statement.
The recall is for both beers stamped with dates from July 1 to Sept. 19. The date labeling can be found on the neck of the bottle. Officials said customers should take any affected beer to the point of purchase for a refund.
Alltech says more Bourbon Barrel Ale should be arriving on shelves this week but that no more Pumpkin Barrel Ale would be forthcoming.
