Man injured by exploding Corona beer bottle: 'It’s like they are selling glass hand grenades'

https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/man-injured-by-exploding-corona-beer-bottle-its-like-they-are-selling-glass-hand-grenades

"Another man says he was badly injured when a Corona beer bottle suddenly exploded, shooting shards of glass into his leg.

“It’s like they are selling glass hand grenades,” retired California lawyer John Jay Curtis said of the New York-based brewing company.


Curtis, 75, is the third man in recent months to tell The Post that a Corona bottle exploded while he was handling it, causing gruesome injury.

Curtis said he was carrying a 24-bottle case of Corona into his Mission Viejo, Calif., house Sept. 25 — walking toward the door to his kitchen from the garage — when “there was an explosion like someone shot off a grenade."

Typically, no I do not buy Corona. If someone offers me one then I will but only because I am trying to not be rude. After reading the above, if someone offers me one now I will ask them to open it for me then I will take it. Anxious

You have to throw the BS flag on this.
If the pressure in the bottle was enough to explode the bottle and send shards of glass into your leg, or up to your head and into your eyes, the cap would've popped off.

This reeks of the Toyota throttle issue. Once they started checking cars for defect using a computer, all of a sudden the "problem" no longer happens...

Incorrect.

I've brewed several bottle bombs in my early days of brewing.

Never had one explode in my hand, but a couple times I was startled by a bottle bursting on the shelf. The others from that batch were gushers when uncapped. The two that spontaneously burst sent glass flying, both broke at the shoulder and the neck stayed intact and the bases were shattered. Thankfully they were in a box and over the concrete floor in my basement so cleanup wasn't an issue.

But the caps stayed on both necks.

I have never touched a Corona. Probably never will. I am not big on beer.

On the other hand, a proper bottle of bourbon is excellent.

One of the "best" beers I ever had in my life, best being, the most memorable, was an ice cold quart of Tecate, drank right out of the bottle, with a few lime wedges shoved in it.
Long story to go with it..........maybe I'll bore you with it some other time.
I'll just say I was thirsty.

For thirst quenching, Zima totally destroys Corona any day of the week
No self respecting brother will ever drink corona.
Only illegal aliens drink that trash as they lumber into the beer store in their dirty Carharrt pants.

I would never drink that garbage. Anything you have to put a lime into to make it drinkable is a no no. I'd take a 40 of OE (DELICIOUS MALT LIQUOR) any day before I drank a Corona.

Once I was at a party and there was a keg of beer I could not identify. I scanned the bar code and the answer was......."left handed toilet lever"........i finally saw the host and asked. It was Corona light. I thought to myself. SAME THING.

Yup. I'm thinking maybe the truth lies somewhere between some legitimately bad glass and a lot of exaggeration.

You were reusing bottles, no?

Micro fractures are a bitch when dealing with a substance that always wants to come apart.

Corona isn't bottle conditioned, it's a a set volume of CO2 before being sterilized and put in the bottles. Granted, Corona runs a little bit higher carbonation than a lot of other beers in their style, but it's nothing off the chart by any means. Unless the filter & sterilizing system fails and you get yeast and something for it to eat in the bottle, it won't change after that point.

I have made a few sparkling Wines in my days, the strongest being a batch of blueberry/blackberry wine. It was pushing 25% alcohol by volume when I tested it. Anyway, I lost 3 bottles of that wine to pressure issues. Talk about a mess..... This is why I use Visqueen in my wine room.
