Benefits of technology

[0009]An object of the invention is to provide a solution that facilitates the logistics process and at the same time meets the high expectations of the beer consumer in regard to taste and quality of the ready-to-drink beer.

Problems solved by technology

The kegs that are usually made of stainless steel, wood or aluminum, increase the transport weight because they represent a considerable share of the weight of the total load.
In addition, kegs are often stolen, which represents a significant financial loss for breweries.

[0015]Although beer brewing looks back on a history that spans thousands of years, the invention embarks on a completely new path that not only is unknown to the experts but also has never been considered until being introduced by this invention. By reducing the CO2 content to values below 1.5 g / kg liquid, all disadvantages associated with CO2 pressure are eliminated. Nonetheless, taste, quality and flavor as well as other characteristics of the beer are fully maintained. This is different from the production and distribution of known beer concentrate in which not only the taste is modified but for which the advantages of the invention with regard to the reduction of transport and storage costs, etc., are not realized at all, as explained below. In the beer-type liquid according to the invention the beer is fully brewed and its ingredients are fully maintained. Only CO2 is removed. The taste-forming ingredients remain in the beer-type liquid; even the mash liquor content remains unc...
