Let's Brew Together
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.
Pre-poured Plates
Plate your beer samples for contaminants without investing in an autoclave or laminar flow hood. We produce and sell pre-poured agar plates for your brewery lab.
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.

Annex Ales (AB) on using
Thiol Libre
Annex Ale Project used Escarpment's Thiol Libre yeast for our summer slammer pale ale It's Kismet and we were extremely satisfied with its impact on our beer.
The haze it created was thick and stable without any murkiness, and provided good body for a big-flavour ale with low-ABV drinkability. The combination of this yeast with some tropical-forward citrusy hops provided an intense nose of mango and guava with great balanced dankness on the pallet.
Overall Thiol Libre is a well-rounded yeast with reliable cellar results, but with a huge fruit-forward aroma and the great tropical vibes you would expect from this product.
Twin City Brewing on using
HOUSE ALE
Great dry option that does the job quick with a clean profile. Produces beers with a great finish and mingles well with accentuated dry hop character. Great product.
Elysium: The Pineapple Ester Sensation
Designed for excellence, this exclusive IPA strain offers strong pineapple vibes and excellent flocculation for speedy beer turnarounds. It can handle warm fermentation or a free rise, making it perfect for tropical brews and sours.
