Our partners brew incredible beer.
I have had the pleasure of working with Escarpment Labs through two breweries, both with very different focuses, scale, and very different locations. Their commitment to research, innovation, and education has made it so their services always stay top of mind when I am developing a new recipe or chatting with other brewers.
— Christina Coady, Landwash Brewery
Escarpment Labs has been a world class supplier of ours. From the communication during the ordering process, the consistency and quality of the product, and finally their one on one advice when selecting strains or troubleshooting problems, shifting a large part of our portfolio to them has been a dream.
— Tom Knowlton, Drekker Brewing Company
It's always a pleasure to work with Escarpment. We've loved working with their various lager and saison strains, their kveiks, and they have been a tremendous resource for technical advice. I'm proud and pleased to have such a world class yeast lab here in Ontario.
— Luke Pestl, Bellwoods Brewery
We're stoked to say we've worked with Escarpment Labs right from the start. High-quality yeast and technical support in a timely manner, without the border hassles!
— Mike Foniok, The Establishment
The collaboration between the van der Merwe research team and Escarpment Labs has led to innovations that improve the sustainability and economics of Canadian craft brewers who previously relied on imported yeast strains.
— Jessica Bowes, Assistant Vice-President, Research Innovation & Knowledge Mobilization
Whenever we have needed additional technical support to tackle a quality issue or asked for advice on a yeast strain, the folks at Escarpment have always been keen to help. Working with them has been like having a really good lab partner in Science Class!
— Julia Hanlon, Steamworks
Working with Escarpment Labs is awesome! Out of the many things that we love, what makes the difference is their innovative spirit, their willingness to share their vast knowledge and their reliability to get yeast on time to us. They help us keep our yeast happy, push boundaries and make really good beer!
— Yann Gravel, Noctem
