Bought Lucky Saint Hazy IPA? Why cans dated August 13, 2027 should not be opened

The recall concerns Lucky Saint 0.5% Hazy IPA 4 x 330ml cans. The affected pack size is four 330ml cans, and the best before date listed in the official alert is end of 13 August 2027.

This date matters because recalls often apply only to a specific batch, pack size or date code. So, rather than assuming every can is affected, the first step is to check the bottom of each can, where the point-of-sale notice says the best before date can be found.

According to the UK Food Standards Agency alert, some cans may become over-pressurised and rupture unexpectedly. The company notice explains that this can cause cans to swell, leak or rupture, creating a risk of physical injury.

That is why the advice is stronger than a usual “do not drink” message. Consumers are told not only to avoid drinking the product, but also to not open it. A pressurised can can be unpredictable, especially if it has been moved, shaken, warmed up or stored for some time.

If you have bought the affected Lucky Saint Hazy IPA 330ml cans, the official customer notice says: do not drink it or open it.

Instead, check that the best before date matches 13/08/2027. You can take a picture of the notice or write the date down for reference at home. The notice also says to share proof of purchase with the store for a full refund, and to dispose of the product safely rather than returning the cans to the shop.

The key idea is to handle the cans as little as possible. The official notice advises placing the cans carefully, upright, in a sealed bag, then disposing of them with household waste.

Do not try to pour the drink away, test the pressure, pierce the can, or open it “just to see”. With a recall involving a possible rupture, the safest kitchen rule is: less handling, no opening, careful disposal.

Most food recalls make people think about allergens, contamination or incorrect labels. This one is different because the risk described is physical injury from a can rupture. That makes the recall especially relevant for everyday storage spaces such as fridges, cupboards, utility rooms and picnic bags.

If you recently bought non-alcoholic or low-alcohol beer for guests, meal prep, a barbecue or a weekend shop, it is worth checking the pack before moving it around. A quick date check can prevent an avoidable accident.

The practical takeaway is clear: check the product name, pack size and date. The affected product is Lucky Saint 0.5% Hazy IPA 4 x 330ml cans with best before 13 August 2027.

If your cans match, do not drink them, do not open them, do not return them to store. Follow the notice: keep handling to a minimum, dispose of the cans carefully, and use proof of purchase to request a refund. For extra information, the customer notice lists the contact email [email protected].
