Escarpment Laboratories

NEW BLOG After a long year, we decided to reignite our company's passion for #homebrew through a little internal competition this past winter. What better way to experiment with some Dark Beer styles, than doing so in the name of charity? Our Homebrew Packaging and Internal Logistics Specialist, Phill, gives a breakdown of the competition: rules, winners, donations & all. Did one of the entries involve squid ink and clog some of our keg dip tubes? Maybe.... Check the link below for all the details - including the recipes of our final 3! https://buff.ly/3cS4XI0

We've been lucky to work with a number of the friends we've made in the craft beer industry to help them hit their targets over the years. One connection we struck up was with Averie Swanson back when she was brewing at Jester King. Since then Averie has moved to Chicago and started brewing as Keeping Together (https://buff.ly/3tXHcE4). We're proud to have contributed a few key microbes to her house culture. We even got to collaborate with Averie on a beer, aptly titled "At... The Still Point of the Turning World" because it was brewed just over a year ago, before COVID-19 changed the world. Learn more from Averie as we revisit our conversation on our YouTube channel about the collab, mixed culture fermentations, the unique business model of Keeping Together, and fostering deep relationships with yeast: https://buff.ly/39isVKe

Meet our Research & Development Lead, Eugene! Eugene joined us in late 2020, and is a scientist with a PhD in Cell Biology and considerable experience in industrial microbe development, especially in yeast. R&D isn't all lab work with pipetting different reagents day in and out - Eugene also spends a good portion of his time doing data analysis, project planning and following up on trends & literature that will help meet our many customer needs (like that amazing blog on #B...iotransformation!). Outside of work, you can find Eugene pretty active in the community. He ran a 5k in Sweden in support of blood donations in 2015 - and did it in under a half hour. No training. You could say that he definitely earned a tall, cold beer after all that (in his case, preferably a pilsner).

This time for #SupportLocalBrews, we're heading across the province to our friends in Ottawa, Bicycle Craft Brewery! The brainchild of partners Laura and Fariborz, Bicycle has spent the last couple years cranking out some delicious beer, with a focus on natural, unique ingredients. Also fans of supporting their local community, Bicycle has created a monthly series called #BicyclesNeighbourhood: a curated experience pairing local products from other local business in Ottaw...a and pairing them with our beers. A portion of the sale of these boxes are donated to a local charity every month. Looking for beer recommendations? Try the new Peach Milkshake IPA which practically screams springtime, or On The Lam, a hazy and juicy NEIPA made with our Foggy London Ale yeast!
