Beer Hunters Beware

An Ankoù · Apr 8, 2023

Hopefully this hasn't made it across to Europe yet, but the more of us who are aware, the better.

This was on the Australia/NZ sister site.

The worry is there may be more tins out there.

Asking for a friend - would you add the meth as a dry hop addition or at the boil?

But this is genuinely nuts, who would add and distribute/share it?

There will be some was of extracting it, but likely the smugglers lost that part of the shipment. I've heard of coke being mixed into the plastic of garden furniture before - no idea how used get that out but I guess they can. Aus has good customs, plus it is a big island far away from a lot of places so smugglers have to be inventive.
