Even with the best quality of beer, improper handling ruins
its great taste. Handling beer the right way is just as important as the beer
you serve!
- Beer
should be served “first-in-first-out”.
- Beer
should be stored in cold temperature. Avoid fluctuation in
temperature, as beer subjected to temperature fluctuations tends to form haze
prematurely.
- Beer
should be protected from direct sunlight. As light-struck beer
produces sulphurous odor or "skunky" flavor. To limit the effect of
UV light on the beer, incandescent lights are preferably used in warehouses,
and amber-colored beer bottles are used.
- Minimize
agitation of beer, for agitation results in the formation of haze.
Agitation also facilitates reaction of any dissolved oxygen in the beer which
can result to oxidized flavor.
-
Maintain
good housekeeping.
Store the beer in clean, sanitary and well-ventilated area. Storage should also
be free from stagnant water.
