The API 20E Microtube System and two supplementary media are proposed to identify at least to genus level the Gram negative bacteria of brewing origin. The system has been checked for its utility in breweries by processing 31 verified cultures of brewing bacteria. Results indicate potential advantages of these techniques over more time‐consuming traditional methods of biochemical testing especially in smaller breweries where microbiological expertise and time are limited.
