Cold brew isn't new, but is seeing rapid growth in mainstream U.S. coffee markets. By nature, cold brew coffee is safe when prepared and stored properly. However, there are many preparation methods ranging from nitro keg-dispensed cold brew to airtight ready-to-drink options -- and a murky patchwork of regulations governing their safety.

Make sure your coffee business is following protocols to keep your cold brew -- and your customers! -- safe by following the advice in our NCA Cold Brew Safety Guide for Retailers.
