A beverage filling method of filling a container with a beverage containing carbonic acid using a filling valve comprising a flow passage that extends in upward and downward direction and which includes a discharge port in the lower part of the flow passage through which the beverage is discharged; and a throttle which is formed upstream of the discharge port and is located inside the filling valve; and a liquid valve, which is disposed inside the flow passage, capable of opening and closing the discharge port; the filling method further using a counter pipe, which connects the gas phase of a storage tank to the inside of the filling valve, the counter pipe being provided with a counter valve, the beverage filling method comprising: a cleaning process of cleaning an inside of the filling valve; a pressure drain process of pressurizing and discharging air on the inside of the filling valve to the outside, filling the inside of the filling valve with the beverage while allowing the discharge port to be in a closed state; a bubble removing process of, after the pressure drain process, removing bubbles generated on the throttle which is located inside of the filling valve during the pressure drain process; and a beverage filling process of filling the container with the beverage after the bubble removing process, characterized in that in the bubble removing process, a tip end of the filling valve is obstructed, such that the inside of the filling valve is sealed, a beverage filling pressure is applied to the liquid valve from the obstructed side by opening the counter valve, the liquid valve is opened thereby bringing the discharge port and the throttle in an opened state and equalizing pressure, a predetermined time elapses, the liquid valve is closed and the tip end of the filling valve is opened. a cleaning process of cleaning an inside of the filling valve; a pressure drain process of pressurizing and discharging air on the inside of the filling valve to the outside, filling the inside of the filling valve with the beverage while allowing the discharge port to be in a closed state; a bubble removing process of, after the pressure drain process, removing bubbles generated on the throttle which is located inside of the filling valve during the pressure drain process; and a beverage filling process of filling the container with the beverage after the bubble removing process, characterized in that in the bubble removing process, a tip end of the filling valve is obstructed, such that the inside of the filling valve is sealed, a beverage filling pressure is applied to the liquid valve from the obstructed side by opening the counter valve, the liquid valve is opened thereby bringing the discharge port and the throttle in an opened state and equalizing pressure, a predetermined time elapses, the liquid valve is closed and the tip end of the filling valve is opened. a tip end of the filling valve is obstructed, such that the inside of the filling valve is sealed, a beverage filling pressure is applied to the liquid valve from the obstructed side by opening the counter valve, the liquid valve is opened thereby bringing the discharge port and the throttle in an opened state and equalizing pressure, a predetermined time elapses, the liquid valve is closed and the tip end of the filling valve is opened.
