Brewers at Eumundi Brewery and the team at the Bundaberg Rum Distillery have collaborated to create the limited-edition EU-BUNDY Spiced Rum Lager.

Head brewer at Eumundi Brewery, Chris Sheehan said the partnership continues to combine two of the finest Queensland producers – both with strong roots in the local community.eu-bundy-spiced-rum-375ml-can-label-dry.jpg

“When we released the EU-BUNDY Black Rum and Plum Pudding Ale last year, we were astonished by its popularity, with people lining up to get their hands on the festive release.

“It’s a classic Aussie Lager mixed with a classic Aussie Rum, lightly infused with hints of vanilla and aromatic spices,” Sheehan said.

Duncan Littler from the Bundaberg Rum Distillery is also eager to welcome the new lager, which he describes as “the best of the two best worlds, in one can”.

“Last year we developed the Black Rum and Plum Pudding Ale which was a darker ‘crafty’ beer. This year, we are using a crisp Lager base and combining it with our Bundaberg Spiced Rum, giving drinkers a cracking rum infused beer that has a super refreshing taste.”

EU-BUNDY Spiced Rum Lager is 5 per cent ABV and is available at the Bundaberg Rum Distillery, online, and at other select stores in Queensland.

SPSA has welcomed the soft plastics focus, while Boomerang Alliance and WMRR have raised concerns about the lack of concrete action.

Economic analysis commissioned by SPSA estimates national recycling reforms could deliver up to $278m in net productivity gains and stimulate up to $2.6b in capital investment each year.
