Chr. Hansen SmartBev NEER flavour strains for non-alcoholic brewing

Friday, 17 November, 2023 | Supplied by: Chr. Hansen


Chr. Hansen has added two new flavour strains to help brewers meet the growing demand for non-alcoholic beer options.

With the addition of NEER Poly and NEER Punch, the SmartBev NEER technology range now comprises three distinct Pichia kluyveri yeast strains, each selected to bring the full beer experience without the alcohol.

The new strains complement the original strain in its portfolio recommended for a balanced beer, giving brewers an expanded palette of flavours to customise their beers according to taste preferences.

NEER Poly is suitable for a more neutral impact of the yeast, allowing the malt and hops to shine in the beer’s flavour profile. It provides a good choice for pilsner, stout and ale beers.

NEER Punch is best suited for a fruity beer as the strain rolls out full ester characters, adding depth and complexity to the flavour. It is suitable for IPAs, wheat and fruit beers.

The new strains have been sourced from the VIB-KULeuven Center for Microbiology.
