Popular beer recalled over ‘illness and injury’ concerns

Customers have been warned not to drink a well-known brand of beer sold by Dan Murphy’s and to dispose of the product carefully.

A popular Gold Coast brewery has been forced to recall one of its beers due to its excessive alcohol content.

The Food Standards board has advised that a secondary fermentation of the Fortitude Brewing Co.’s Pacer Beer has led to excessive alcohol and carbonation levels, which may cause illness and injury if consumed.

The popular beer has been recalled over fears of having an excessive alcohol content.

Products in both the six and 24 packs could be affected, with best before periods of 15/02/2024 and 16/02/2024.

The light ale is described as being a medium-bodied, full-flavoured beer with notes of passionfruit and citrus.

The beer is sold across Dan Murphy’s stores in Queensland and at the brand’s brewery in Tamborine Mountain, near Brisbane.

Customers have been advised to contact the Fortitude Brewing Co. for safe disposal instructions, plus reimbursement.
