Beer Testing

In the beer industry, consistency in quality, flavor, aroma, and appearance across batches is paramount for consumer preference, trust, and loyalty. However, contamination by bacteria or wild yeast can lead to off-flavors, haze, or spoilage, impacting profitability and brand image. 

Current quality control, primarily based on finished product testing, has limitations. Contamination risks increase along the supply chain and production process, especially with the introduction of new ingredients and developments like 0.0 alcohol beers.
