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 takes care of the yeast in my personal yeast bank and they propagate the yeast to pitchable quantity. They have outstanding customer service and their technical support is very focused on the reality of craft breweries.
— Olivier Dupras, Isle de Garde Brasserie
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
Escarpment has advised me on techniques ranging from harvesting yeast from heavily hopped beers to best practices fermenting a clean lager, and consequently taken our beer to another level. The time and attention dedicated to technical support is second to none.
— Dan Mason, Trailway Brewing Co.

We Help You
Make Better Beer.
If you want to chat about yeast, let’s get to it. We share our knowledge, original research and time with our customers. Our business thrives through respect for our craft and the healthy, beating heart of an entire industry. And, to be honest, our friends and relatives aren’t always that interested in nerding out over fermentation.
You can reach out to us directly or check out hours of free education.
The Kveik Ring
Join the inner circle.
We are the leading experts on the science of Norwegian Kveik yeasts. The Kveik Ring is a monthly program we created that aims to turn yeast characterization into a collaborative process. This is your chance to get access to a wider range of these exciting yeasts. By getting more Norwegian Kveik yeasts into the hands of more brewers, we can dramatically speed up our typical strain testing process.
Lab Services
What's in your beer?
We arm breweries with the help they need to identify, locate and ultimately prevent costly microbial contaminations. We sell lab supplies and offer private strain banking services. We can act as your in-house microbial detectives, so you don't have to find the time or space to install a lab in your growing brewery.
