Abstract
The invention relates to a process for the production of substantially non-alcoholic beer by a continuous yeast treatment at a low temperature. In the process, wort which has been clarified and possibly treated by evaporating and/or with an adsorbing agent is passed through a packed column reactor containing immobilized yeast at a temperature ranging between the freezing point of wort and 10.degree. C. The yeast is reactivated at 2.degree. to 15.degree. C. for 10-30 hours. If required, the reactor can be regenerated.
