STL BREW LAB
Bringing Affordable Microbiology Quality Testing to Breweries of All Sizes
“It’s a feeling I hope you never experience: You crack open an ice cold beer after a long day, take a sip expecting the familiar hoppy, bubbly goodness to hit your taste buds, and instead, you get a mouthful of flat, acrid sludge.
You’ve just tasted rotten beer. And no one’s higher on your s&*t list than the brewers who bottled it..”
— Maddie Stone, from the article “Why Brewers Are DNA-Testing Beer for Bacterial Infections”.
