"Pasteurization" pictograms

  Pasteurized

  Invented by Louis Pasteur in 1856, pasteurization consists in heating the beer to a high temperature (158°F approximately). Often beer is pasteurized after being bottled, in such a case bottles are heated to pasteurization temperature during several minutes.
  By destroying yeasts and micro-organisms in the beer, this process ensures the stability and conservation of the beer.

  Unpasteurized

  Pasteurization consists in destroying micro-organisms and yeasts in the beer in order to ensure its stability and conservation.
  Beers aren't always pasteurized. For instance, this is the case for beers refermented in the bottle. In this case, addition of yeasts when bottling doesn't allow such a process.
