  2. F. Serving bottled beer
  3. 1. Prepare for service

Exam Focus

  • Bottle-conditioned beer contains sediment and should stand upright.
  • Store beer at ideal serving temperature when possible.
  • Otherwise keep all beer refrigerated at 43 F / 6 C or less.

Before opening

Preparation protects appearance and flavor. Upright storage helps sediment settle, and cold storage keeps beer fresh until service.

Key Terms

Bottle-conditioned
Carbonated by yeast in the package, often leaving sediment.
