Lab Services
We’re serious about quality control.
We arm breweries with the knowledge they need to identify, locate and ultimately prevent costly microbial contaminations. We sell pre-poured agar plates, offer private microbial strain banking services and work with breweries to isolate and test wild local yeasts. Soon, we’ll offer customised yeasts through selective mating of different yeast strains.
Talks & Workshops
We’re chatty.
If you want to talk about yeast, let’s get to it. We happily share our knowledge, original research and time. 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.
The Kveik Ring
Join the inner circle.
The Kveik Ring is a monthly program 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, lovingly propagated by leading experts. By getting more Norwegian Kveik yeasts into the hands of more brewers, we can dramatically speed up our typical strain testing process.

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 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.
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
Thanks for the features!
