An exploratory survey of wild yeasts in draught beer as served to the consumer has been carried out and the distribution of the isolated organisms examined. Potential film‐forming yeasts of the genera Pichia and Candida were isolated from a high proportion of the beers, whilst Saccharomyces carlsbergensis types were present in 27% of the samples. Representatives of Hanseniaspora, Kloeckera, Rhodotorula and Torulopsis were found in smaller numbers.
