Meet the Beer Lovers Behind Shelf Life Systems

At SLS, we’re not in the business of brewing beer. We’re in the business of introducing people to some of America’s best craft beer with the help of our custom flash pasteurizers.

HAVE YOU EVER SPENT WEEKS PLANNING, PREPARING, BREWING, AND FERMENTING THE MOST UNIQUE CRAFT BEER, ONLY TO REALIZE MANY PEOPLE WON'T HAVE the chance to taste it?

We know how frustrating it is to take an idea from your brain, transform it into a delicious beer, and then not have the ability to share it. It’s because beer has a short shelf life and can lose its original taste in distribution. That’s a shame because hundreds of beer lovers nationwide would love to sip that beer. With over 60 years of combined experience pasteurizing craft beer, we help breweries share their most unique beer without worrying about losing its essential character. We can do the same for you.

We love heavy hops, tart sours, and everything in between. We’re beer lovers first and pasteurization masters second.
