How to have fun

At what temperature should you drink alcohol-free beer?

Good alcohol -free beer can never be enjoyed too cold.
We avoid serving it frozen for example because the palate will be numb by the cold and you will not perceive aromas or delicate flavors.
If your alcohol -free beer comes out of the fridge, wait 5 to 10 minutes before tasting it so that alcohol -free beer warms slightly.

The choice of ideal temperature depends on your location and the season, but we can recommend the following tasting temperatures, never below 5 ° C:

Light alcohol -free beer: 5 ° C, including light and summer beer, flavored beer, white beer, etc.

Craft -free beer: 8 ° C, this temperature is suitable for most so -called artisanal or craft beers.

The wise tasters will enjoy enjoying their alcohol -free beer at different temperatures to compare and decide the temperature.

Which alcohol -free beer glass to choose to serve?

There are many forms of alcohol -free beer glasses.
Mugs, glasses on foot, flutes, straight pint type glasses, chalices ...
Each brewer offers glasses assorted to its creation, in addition to what you find in the trade or at Sanzalc.

We recommend that you use a glass with a rod or a handle like a mug so that alcohol -free beer does not overheat when it comes into contact with your hand holding the glass.
Try different glasses to see if you feel the same with the same alcohol -free beer, the release of aroma in contact with the mouth varies a lot between narrow glasses and wide glasses.

Whether you want to exceed the DLUO (deadline for optimal use) or not, it is necessary to keep your alcohol beers in good conditions to preserve or develop the aromas and flavors of the latter.

Alcohol -free beer fears light and heat.

Also, there are 3 basic rules to respect:

Do not expose alcohol -free beers to light, as it directly impacts hops present in the drink, degrading it.

Hops having conservative properties, the alteration of it will make alcohol-free beer can be kept for a long time.

This can also develop unpleasant tastes.

Maintaining beer without alcohol at a constant temperature, ideally between 10 and 15 degrees, in a cellar, like wine.

Too cold a temperature will alter the aromas.

Conversely, too hot a temperature will have the consequence of developing them too quickly.

Hold on alcohol -free beer vertically to reduce the risk by avoiding contact between the liquid and the cap.

This allows the yeast to settle quietly at the bottom of the bottle.

In a word, alcohol -free beer has no shelf life but only an optimal or minimal shelf life.

Therefore, the DLUO can easily exceed several weeks/months without being as long as bad.

And in any case, you should remember that this will not pose a health danger.
