Storing and Handling Beer the Right Way

Temperature
Avoid extreme or sudden changes in temperatures, such as dipping a beer bottle suddenly into a bucket of ice. Make sure storage room is well ventilated and away from direct heat.

Beer are best kept at 15-20°C.

Stacking and movement
To avoid kegs from falling over, stack them in a stretching band and make piles of two (maximum). When handling crates, minimize movement by stacking them no more than the height of your shoulders.

Strong smells
Strong smells can affect the taste of beer. Do not store them alongside these items: cocoa, coffee, onions, fish or products containing chloride.

First in, first out (FIFO)
Store new beer such that old stocks are easily accessible and the first to leave the storeroom.

Lighting
Beer loses its delicate taste under the influence of light. Keep them in a dark area, away from sunlight or artificial light.

Surface
Do not place beers directly on cold surfaces such as concrete, tiles, bricks or stones. Always use a rubber mat or pallet.

Dirt
Product presentation is important. Prevent your beer from getting dusty or soiled by keeping the storeroom clean and tidy.

Moisture
Store beer in a dry environment. Sort out damaged/leaking packages immediately, so that it doesn’t damage other packaging.

Glass bottles are fragile. Please handle them with care.
