Let biosolutions improve your numbers

New innovations boost non-alcoholic beer opportunities

Maintaining consistency in quality while constantly striving for a better bottom line is a constant challenge. Biosolutions help you to overcome it by improving so many of the numbers involved in alcohol-free beer production.

Saving on costs and resources by harnessing the power of microbes

Traditional methods of making alcohol-free beer require brewing full-strength beer as one would with a traditional beer, then removing the alcohol and adding flavoring. However, our recent innovation empowers brewers to make flavorful non-alcoholic beer faster, more sustainable and cost-efficient, giving producers a competitive edge.

Our fermentation experts have collected their most valuable insights into how you can improve your numbers by optimizing your alcohol-free brewing process. More specifically, they explain how introducing the right yeast enables you to save on malt, energy and water, speed up production and quicken the route to market.

A solution that changes the equation

NEER^® is an innovative yeast technology that creates the full beer experience without the alcohol. When brewing with NEER^®, you are not wasting malt or producing ethanol that then requires significant amounts of energy and water to remove.

Here are just a few examples of the savings you can look forward to when brewing with SmartBev^™ NEER^®

$737,000

annual cost savings
from 1,081 tons less malt used

A brewery producing 0.0% beer can save up to 65% malt using the NEER^® technology compared to the traditional de-alcoholization process. This corresponds to a saving of 1,081 tons of malt for the production of 100,000 HL of 0.0% beer.

400%

higher volume from faster production

Fermentation with NEER^® requires a consistent production time of 2-3 days, with no need for maturation. This enables you to produce four times more or save six days of production compared to traditional beer fermentation.
