Assuring the microbiological quality of draught beer

What is it about?

Studies on draught beer quality has had a pretty 'poor press' since the publications from the (now defunct) British School of Malting and Brewing at the University of Birmingham in the 1980's. This review in the book Brewing Microbiology, is focused on the microbiology of draught beer and considers the microorganisms that grow/spoil beer, how the 'hot spots' are managed and some of the developments/innovations that had (varying) impact on the assurance of quality.
