The stability and quality of beer is at the top of the agenda for brewers. According to Art Oestrike, president at Jackie O's, "Barrel ageing beers is a fickle business. […] A year and a half after packaging [the beers], they start to turn sour. They don't taste good."

This is where Flexitherm™ comes into play to "flip the barrel ageing programme on its head", in the words of Oestrike. Flexitherm is an automatic pasteurization machine for beer pasteurization. It uses a pasteurization method that eliminates microbiological spoilage, achieves the right pasteurization temperature and preserves the quality and shelf life of beer and other carbonated drinks over a variable flow range.
