natural carbonation
Geological bubble creation
Natural carbonation is the fizz in beverages that results from fermentation rather than mechanical injection of carbon dioxide.
When yeast consumes sugars, it produces alcohol and CO2 as byproducts; if this occurs in a sealed container, the gas dissolves into the liquid under pressure.
This process creates the bubbles in traditional champagne, bottle-conditioned beers, and naturally fermented sodas like kombucha.
The brewery's natural carbonation gives their ales a softer, creamier mouthfeel than force-carbonated brands.
