In this beverage filling method, in which sterilized containers (4) are filled with a sterilized beverage via beverage-supply-system tubing (7) and said containers are sealed after said beverage-supply-system tubing, through which the beverage is delivered from a heat-sterilization unit (18) to the interior of a filling machine (2), is sterilized, an upstream tubing section (7a), said upstream tubing section (7a) being the part of the beverage-supply-system tubing that passes through the sterilization unit, is provided with an upstream return channel, forming an upstream circulation channel (6a); and a downstream tubing section (7b), said downstream tubing section (7b) being the part of the beverage-supply-system tubing that extends from the downstream side of the aforementioned upstream tubing section to the interior of the filling machine, is provided with a downstream return channel (6b), forming a downstream circulation channel. The process of filling the abovementioned containers with the abovementioned beverage is started after the following: first, an alkaline cleaning solution is circulated through the upstream circulation channel and the downstream circulation channel to clean and sterilize the inside of the beverage-supply-system tubing; and said beverage-supply-system tubing is then rinsed with sterile water.
