    Advice from someone who works where the bottles were made: return them. I have been off a few days for the holiday so I have not heard what the actual defect was, but it's not worth the risk.

    Oh, I dunno. Mercury found in food products, food products recalled. Beer called Mercury, beer recalled. Ironic, OK?

    They should have recalled Venus for being so awful.

    If the bottle isn't cracked, I don't see the need to return.

    From what I heard it is what is called a wire edge. Inside of finish could be sharp or tiny pieces of glass can break off. Don't drink it.

    Damn, I've got a bottle of Venus just arrived from points north. Planning on sharing it. Probably still will.

    Was really excited when I heard about this series from Bell's! Unfortunate news for Bell's.

    I filled out a form a week or so ago and today got a letter with a $25 gift code to use online with free shipping as well. Pretty cool considering I only bought one bottle..I just filled out the form to see what the response would be.

    Impressive for sure. Bells is top notch.
