Okay big dramas in Australia. A craft beer advent calendar had their Christmas Day beer, an egg nog porter, recalled!

Quote:
The risk of excess fermentation in the container is due to the beer being prematurely chilled and packaged, resulting in residual fermentable sugar remaining in the can – which when combined with the live yeast culture that resides in all of our beers, can continue to ferment.

This has the potential to result in an increase in ABV rendering the product not fit for sale in current packaging, as well as excessive pressure build up in the can, potentially leading to leaking or rupturing of the container.
Mine is now out of the box and in the fridge. I noticed a bit of swelling in the top of the can. This is still okay to drink right? I’m guessing it just be a little stronger and not taste exactly how the brewer intended.
