ABSTRACT:
A beer bottling operation includes pressurizing the interior of an empty bottle prior to pouring beer into the bottle in two steps. In the first step, according to a first preferred embodiment, the interior of the bottle is pressurized by air fed from a pressurized air source, while in the second step the interior of the bottle is pressurized by means of pressurized air fed from a bottling tank where the beer to be bottled is stored. According to a second preferred embodiment, in the first step the interior of the bottle is evacuated substantial to a vacuum condition, while in the second step the interior of the bottle is pressurized by means of carbon dioxide gas fed from the bottling tank, and in the subsequent step of pouring beer into the bottle the beer is poured from the bottom portion of the bottle. According to another aspect of the invention, the blowing out of bubbles of beer, adhered to a pressurized gas passageway extending from the bottling tank and a bottling valve which have finished one cycle of a bottling operation, is divided into two steps. In the first step the bubbles are blown out by means of pressurized gas fed from the bottling tank, while in the second step the bubbles are blown out by means of pressurized air from the pressurized air source. By the above-mentioned provision, the amount of air that is inevitably dissolved in the beer within the bottling tank and in the bottled beer can be reduced, thereby resulting in improved quality of the bottled beer.
