Bottle conditioning is done in every beer.

Bottle conditioning is done in every beer.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Sometimes
• D. Never

Answer: (B)

Bottle conditioning is a method where beer is sealed with yeast and a little priming sugar so a small fermentation occurs in the bottle, producing natural carbonation. But not all beers use this approach. Many are carbonated in the brewery by forced CO2, then filtered or pasteurized before bottling, which means there’s no fermentation happening in the bottle itself. Others may have no bottle conditioning by design to ensure stability and longer shelf life. Because carbonation methods differ by style and producer, it isn’t true that bottle conditioning is done in every beer.
