What is Live Beer?

If you are a beer lover and want to know what live beer is - then this advice is for you. Here you will find out what live beer is.

Live beer is prepared like regular beer, but with the difference that live beer is "saved" from mechanical purification - it is not filtered. Also, live beer does not go through a pasteurization process.

The yeasts, that are responsible for the fermentation of beer and other processes are alive, and that is where the name of this beer comes from.

Live beer, unlike ordinary beer, has a short shelf life, so it must be tested within 24 hours after its preparation. If stored in a dark place, under pressure and at a low temperature (mostly in beer kegs), this helps to extend the shelf life up to 72 hours.

There are vessels specially designed for the storage of this type of beer, which allow maintaining a temperature suitable for the storage of live beer, which is from 0 to 5 degrees.

This allows the processes that help ferment the beer to linger long enough for the beer to last for several months.

Live beer is cloudy in color, because there are mechanical impurities in it. These impurities are very fine, not visible and are particles of barley or wheat grains, as well as hop leaves.
