Popular beer recalled over health risks

Australia’s largest supermarket chains, Coles and Woolworths, have issued a recall for Eagle Bay Brewing Company XPA 375ml cans.

Affected cans have a best before marking of 19 April 2023.

The recall has been issued due to the beers containing “excessive alcohol and carbonation” which may causes illness or injury if consumed.

This is probably the first time we’ve heard of a beer being recalled for too much alcohol!

Are you an Eagle Bay drinker?

Never heard of it, but it would be useful to set a trap in the garden for slugs and snails

Eagle Bay is a boutique brewery in Dunsborough, WA.  Although I am not a beer drinker as such, have enjoyed a glass when in the area and stopped for lunch at their restaurant.

Hubby tells me the issue with the recalled beer is due to secondary fermentation continuing in the can after it leaves the production line, increasing the alcohol content and the pressure inside the can. This apparently can increase the chances of infection.

Sounds like a nice part of the world Soph.

Alcohol = a mind altering recreational drug.

Brewers = drug manufacturers.

Hotels = drug pushers.

Alcoholics = need assistance to live a drug free life.

All mind altering, recreational drugs should be legal, and then demonised like the drug tobacco. THAT'S how you get the majority of druggies off drugs. Plus the police would be freed up to do "real" policing, instead of running after druggies who are VICTIMS of recreational illegal drugs.

 

Yep, I agree, Absinthe – Popular from the late 19th to early 20th centuries, Absinthe is known to many as “The Green Fairy” for its green color and supposedly hallucinogenic and psychoactive properties. Famous drinkers include Ernest Hemingway, Vincent Van Gogh, and Oscar Wilde.

Have you tried the Green Fairy, Mister??

 

Must agree with you Mister.
