For the yeast intolerant, there are only two
choices: drink beer with the yeast, or don’t drink beer at all. In other words,
you can’t combine yeast-free and
beer. There is no such thing as yeast
free beer. Here’s why:
Yeast is an
important ingredient in making beer. Without yeast, beer would not have any
alcoholic content in it. Yeast is used in the fermentation process or brewing of
beer. It converts the carbohydrates and sugars in malted barley or wheat in
order to produce alcohol in the beer. Before bottling, beer like wine is
usually sterile filtered to remove the large particles of yeast left in the
beer so the beer wouldn’t look too cloudy. Still, not all of the yeast can be
removed during filtering. In fact, it is ideal to leave some yeast in the beer
before bottling so the beer would have a “fizz” upon opening.
Now that you
know, it’s probably better to quit beer and yeast altogether to have a healthy yeast free life. In general you will
also have a better health being alcohol-free at the same time.
