Beer is one of the most popular and diverse alcoholic beverages in the world and is growing in popularity. GEA Liquid Processing can provide all the components involved in the brewing process, from when the raw ingredients reach the brewery until the bottling phase.
Beer comes from barley, which through activation of enzymes becomes malt. Through a process of cooking, sieving, heating and cooling, filtering and carbonating, one of the world’s most popular beverages is produced.
While most beers are made from barley, beer can be brewed from pretty much anything that contains starch. That is why wheat- and corn-based beers can also be found on supermarket shelves. The production process and treatment of the raw ingredients can also open doors to diverse beer types, such as stout, which is produced by roasting the barley, or ale.
The Market
Beer is a product known and enjoyed all over the globe. The sale of beer is enjoying a climb in popularity in South East Asia, with the pilsner-style beers being the most popular. Other areas that are experiencing a growing market for beer are in Russia and China.
Important Factors
Throughout the process, cleanliness and control of both pH and temperature are important factors, and that is why it is important to work with a company which has the experience and know-how of the product and the industry to understand the priorities of the customers as well as their individual needs.
Our Competencies
Different types of beer not only have different ingredients, they also require different processes. GEA Liquid Processing can deliver the entire brewery on our own or via our sister companies in the GEA Group.
