BUG Brewers with name only made with numbers crashes the site

Seems like brewers with a name only made with numbers crashes the site

For example, in Switzerland, those 3 brewers were crashing the site when clicking on their URL: 1386, 1936 and 8406.

example of crashing URL
https://www.ratebeer.com/brewers/8406/30149/

I managed to edit all of them using the old brewer edit page url
https://www.ratebeer.com/ratings/beer/showbrewer.asp?brewerid=
by adding their brewer number (ie 30149) to the url and after adding some letters to their name, it fixed their brewer page.
https://www.ratebeer.com/brewers/brauerei-8406/30149/

So what you are saying is that handling a character field if the field only contains numbers (numbers in a field like that is just as good as letters and other characters) then it crashes. Not even used any special characters or anything? That I could have understand,but…number??

I am getting more and more impressed of Ratebeer developers.
