What stands in the way of winning the gold?

You’ve brewed the perfect beer, and your signature flavor is what your customers love, but are you sure they’re all experiencing it that way? Oxidation is every brewers nightmare, and trying to prevent it poses some serious challenges. Once your beer leaves your brewery, it enters a world you can’t control. Harsh temperature swings, unpredictable handling, and extended shelf times all take a toll on your brew.

Don Miller of Euryale Brewing Co. decided not to leave that to chance. With nearly four decades of brewing under his belt, Don prides himself on always looking for ways to improve the quality and longevity of every batch. However, oxidation kept standing in the way. He noticed that smaller or partially filled kegs were especially vulnerable, and despite his best efforts, the issue persisted. Color changes were the first sign, but off notes and dull flavors were soon to follow. He tried different approaches, but nothing stuck, until he came across Brew Shield.

After testing it out, Brew Shield quickly became a regular part of his process. It’s been reliable, easy to use, and consistently effective. In fact, it helped protect and stabilize Euryale’s Iota IPA which went on to win the gold in San Diego. Here’s what Don had to say:

A quote from our award winning client:

“Freshness made all the difference. Our Iota IPA won Gold for American IPA at the 2025 San Diego International Beer Competition, and Brew Shield played a big role. It preserved our hoppy flavor and aroma perfectly, helping us stand out as a top contender. With Brew Shield, I can focus on what I do best — brewing great beer — while it takes care of the rest. If more brewers used it, the beer world would be better for it — and honestly, I’d be drinking better beer too. At the end of the day, the results speak for themselves. Go Brew Shield, and cheers!”

How exactly did Brew Shield protect an award-winning IPA?

Despite your best efforts, oxidation can still creep in. For hop-forward styles like IPAs, the risk is even higher, as their bold aromas and fresh bitterness are especially sensitive. That’s why preventing oxidation is critical for protecting the integrity of your brew. It’s a risk every brewer knows, but not every brewer is addressing it head-on. However, Brew Shield can help.

What is Brew Shield? Simply put, it’s a natural antioxidant designed to prevent oxidation before it even begins. It works by neutralizing harmful oxidative compounds that would otherwise dull the vibrant flavors, aromas, and appearance of your beer. For hop-forward styles like IPAs, this is a game changer. In fact, Brew Shield has been shown to reduce oxidation by up to 75%, helping to maintain the flavor, color, and aroma you worked so hard to craft.

Still not convinced? It also extends your beer’s shelf life by up to six months, giving you more time, more flexibility, and more confidence in the quality of every can and bottle.

That’s still not all:
