I thought that it was the alcohol in beer which prevents the growth of
Clostridium. As this is "unfermented" beer, there won't be any alcohol.
The canning process typically depends on high temperature and pressure
to sterilize the stored material. I would use stringient canning
methods. I don't know if beer wert is the best medium for the growth of
Clostridium. However, a mistake could cost you your life!
