Question: 1 / 400

How must draft beer be served?

At room temperature

Using a CO2 or a CO2-nitrogen mix at the proper pressure setting

Draft beer must be served using CO2 or a CO2-nitrogen mix at the proper pressure setting to ensure the beer is dispensed correctly and maintains its quality. This method allows for better carbonation control and helps to preserve the beer’s aroma and flavor. The use of CO2 or a CO2-nitrogen mix also minimizes the risk of oxidation, which can occur with other gas systems, leading to off-flavors.

Using compressed air or hand pumps can introduce oxygen into the beer, which negatively impacts taste and freshness, causing it to spoil more quickly. Additionally, serving beer at room temperature would not provide the desired drinking experience, as most beers are best enjoyed chilled. Proper pressure settings are essential to ensure that the beer flows properly without being over or under-carbonated.
