Episode 313 - Pasteurization in Craft Beer
In this episode of Tap the Craft Podcast, Denny and Kris explore the science behind pasteurization, explain the differences between tunnel and flash pasteurization, and discuss when—and why—craft breweries choose to use this often misunderstood process. Whether you think pasteurization is a necessary quality-control tool or believe fresh, unpasteurized beer is always best, this episode separates fact from fiction and gives you a deeper appreciation for one of brewing's most important—and debated—processes. We also have two beer tastings, one from Wander Back Beerworks with the Matchday German Pilsner and a second from Pontoon Brewing with the Not Afraid of the Smiggles Super Sour. Now grab a beer and enjoy the show!
