Berkeley Yeast

Berkeley Yeast bioengineers yeast strains that enhance flavor, efficiency, and sustainability in brewing. The company develops strains that reduce or eliminate the use of resource-intensive crops by producing the same flavor compounds found in fruits and other edible plants, and that can skip energy-intensive processing steps such as ethanol removal in non-alcoholic beer. Serving commercial brewers who need more consistent flavor and leaner production, Berkeley Yeast applies synthetic biology to fermentation so beers can taste better while using fewer agricultural and energy inputs.
