License our technology
Access to Exclusive Strains
As a licensing customer, you gain access to our full library, which opens up even more extraordinary possibilities with some of our most advanced technologies. For example, use Summerstone to create a level of complex and authentic stone fruit character that cannot be achieved with fruit. Or use strains in our LNA series to create non-alcoholic beer that tastes like full-strength beer. These strains allow for significantly reduced inputs, better margins, and the ability to achieve flavors and characteristics that will differentiate your brand.
Comprehensive Support and Resources
Our team is here to support you every step of the way. From technical support to resources for propagation, we’ve got you covered. Access parts lists, standard operating procedures, and dedicated support from our team. Even if you’ve never propagated yeast in-house before, our technical support and resources will allow you to produce and maintain consistently high quality yeast.
Complex Flavors with High Margins
Most sources of complex flavors require so much additional expense—whether the material itself or the extra labor that goes into it—that margins get very thin. Licensing of our technologies is priced so you can make complex flavors and drive high margins.
Environmental Stewardship
Join our commitment to sustainability. Whether you have a sustainability program or you simply believe in doing what’s right, together we can reduce our environmental impact. By opting into our Licensing Program, you can reduce your reliance on large overnight shipments of liquid yeast and reduce your environmental footprint.
