ongoing support for every brewery

Bundle your quality control

Our QC Bundles are designed to give breweries consistent access to Escarpment’s expertise at a predictable cost. Each bundle includes a set number of tests and consultation hours, plus specialty services like species ID and wort sugar analysis. If you don’t use everything in a given month, your credits roll over into liquid yeast or nutrient purchases — so nothing goes to waste.

Bundles also unlock added perks like free shipping, sensory reviews, and even access to experimental strains. Whether you’re brewing 500 hL or 20,000 hL, there’s a bundle built to fit your needs.

Quality Control when you need it

Ad-hoc testing

Not ready for a bundle? Our ad-hoc testing options let you choose exactly what you need, when you need it. From microbiological plating and species ID to advanced analyses, you get the same expert results as our bundle customers.

This flexible approach is perfect for breweries who want occasional quality checks or targeted insights without a monthly commitment. Pair ad-hoc tests with your existing brewery processes, or use them as a stepping stone toward a QC Bundle when you’re ready for more consistent support.

FAQ

What if I don’t use all my services in a bundle?

No worries! Any unused services automatically convert into store credits that you can use for liquid yeast or yeast nutrient orders. That means there’s no “use it or lose it” — you get full value from every bundle.

Do I need a subscription?

Not at all! Our bundles are available on a month-to-month basis, so you’re never locked into a long-term contract. And if you just need a few tests here and there, our ad-hoc services are purchased individually — pay only for what you use.

What kinds of breweries use this service?

All kinds! From small 500 hL breweries to 20,000+ hL operations, we have bundles and services that fit every size and style of brewery. No matter your scale, we can help you get the QC support you need.

Why should I do my QC testing with Escarpment Labs?

Working with Escarpment Labs gives you access to the expertise and knowledge of our team, helping ensure your beer consistently meets your high standards. Running your own lab or hiring a full-time technician can be expensive — our bundles and ad-hoc services provide the same quality control support without the overhead, so you can fill any quality assurance gaps and keep your brewery running efficiently.
