Freshly brewed beer with unique live microorganisms of brewer's yeast, slightly cloudy from fermentation products, unfiltered, unpasteurized and without preservatives - this is a real live beer! It is good for its natural hop taste, persistent appetizing foam and indescribable hop aroma.
Live beer is brewed solely to be drunk right away. In any case, live beer cannot be stored for a long time. No more than one month of storage in a cool place at temperatures below + 2 ° C, live beer will not lose its taste and the life of brewer's yeast, which is called the soul of live beer.
By the way, an important indicator of real live beer is the ability to maintain quality after complete freezing. If a bottle of regular beer is forgotten in the freezer, after thawing, the beer concentrate separates with water. The beer is simply not drinkable. And living beer is not afraid of such temperature changes, the whole bouquet of taste is preserved. Ideally, live beer is consumed within three to four days, or even hours.
An interesting feature of live beer is that it ferments in a container from which it will be bottled. But pasteurized is already frozen, canned beer. While there is a myriad of delicious pasteurized bottled beers out there, many beer lovers will shake their heads. What are you, only live beer is real!
The storage problem is the main challenge that brewers face when brewing live beer. Modern industrialists have already learned how to seal live beer in plastic and glass containers. But are they not cunning? After two months of storage from real live beer, there will be no aroma, taste and freshness left in the plastic.
The foam of live draft beer is persistent, dense and lasts to the very bottom of the glass. The aroma and taste of live beer can only be compared with the taste and aroma of fresh warm bread, which is only from the bakery. The aroma of light acidity and freshness is inherent only in true live beer. And the taste of soft bread rich hops - with notes of yeast and light hop bitterness. Live beer in mini-breweries is famous for its excellent taste characteristics. It is there that they honor traditions, strictly adhere to the technology in the production of live beer. Small brewers value their reputation very much.
The price of live beer is higher than that of pasteurized beer. And this is rather his advantage than a disadvantage. Since true connoisseurs are ready to pay any money for the delicate taste of the foamy drink. Live beer rightfully belongs to the elite and absolutely natural drinks.
