The Lab: Your Beverage R&D Playground
In 2019, BevSource opened The Lab as an innovation arm for beverage start-ups and an R&D playground for established beverage companies. The Lab was created to offer beverage makers a place to conduct small-scale manufacturing and to provide access to affordable quality testing.
Our commercial-grade pilot production facility is ideal for experimental beverages, collaboration brews, or small runs for professional presentations to investors, retailers, and distributors. Small-scale production is also a cost-effective option for consumer sampling initiatives, focus groups, or regional distribution. We support pilots in 20+ alcoholic and non-alcoholic categories including RTD cocktails, hard seltzers, fermented/Kombucha, CSDs, energy, tea, and functional waters. We are licensed for beer, wine, and spirits.
The Lab also boasts a full-service laboratory offering analytic, microbiological, and quality assurance testing including alcohol analysis, gluten, and nutritional testing, shelf life testing, and more. We are also a SpecMetrix-certified facility for aluminum can quality testing.
