WHY UNPASTEURIZED?

There are a number of reasons why the pasteurization process is so prevalent in the beer industry. Most important of these, is the extension of the shelf life of the beer for periods up to one year. Stockpiling and warehousing the beer gives the big breweries an enormous advantage in distribution and inventory control.

Pasteurization tends to dull the flavour and flatten the taste as it tends to reduce the full, robust flavour inherent in natural beer. It also interferes with the natural carbonation process. For this reason, Big Rock has chosen to stay away from the pasteurization process and make fresh, natural beer.
