Concentrated alcohol is suspected of being added to bottles of Stella Artois beer, Canada's food watchdog says.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said Thursday that tampering is suspected in six 330-millilitre bottles of Stella Artois beer with best before dates of November and December 2005, and production codes of L32343T and L35243G.

....

As these beers' expiry dates have passed, they should no longer be for sale in the marketplace. The advisory does not apply to Stella Artois cans and draft beer.

The CFIA also noted that bottled beer with two neck labels glued over each other should not be consumed.

If I'm at a restaurant still serving these then I'm at a pretty crappy restaurant.

Firefly- I think that's how the bottles were tampered with. The person who did the tampering used old bottles.

Because 6 packs of Stella are not in a sealed case, one could easily swap an old bottle for a new one in a liquor store.

This brand is also supposedly one of the most fattening beers you can consume.
