Abstract: A process is disclosed for producing beers having yeast turbidity, in particular wheat beer, in which it is possible to metabolize virtually completely the oxygen which has unavoidably passed into the container during packaging, and nevertheless to perform continuous pasteurization integrated into the filling device. For this purpose, prior to packaging, yeast and beer wort are again added to the beer, and the yeast in the beer present in a package is destroyed within 24 hours of packaging. By this means, sterile beer having very high flavor stability can be produced, which is also suitable for sale of canned beer and for export even to distant countries.
