The best-before date is often perceived as a strict limit after which food is no longer edible. However, it is worth taking a closer look, especially when it comes to beer.
Craft beer is known for its variety and complexity of flavours, which are created through the use of high-quality ingredients and special brewing techniques. To preserve these subtle flavours and the freshness of the beer, proper storage is crucial.
Chris Lusser, CEO of SQURI AG and founder of Hopfnung.ch, obtained his beer sommelier diploma from Doemens in Munich in December 2023. This award underlines his dedication and expertise in the world of craft beer.
