Breweries were among the first industries to implement mechanical refrigeration as it allowed them to brew year-round. Refrigeration is a necessary component of the brewing process as it significantly impacts the taste and quality of the final product. Breweries require refrigeration at all times, particularly during the hot summer months. The yeast used in the brewing process is a highly sensitive ingredient that requires sufficient refrigeration if exposed to warm temperatures, which can negatively impact the flavor.
