Nothing like getting a few brewers together for some disc golf! A big thanks to everyone who came out for our lunch/lab tour and stuck around for some fun!🥏

If you see us knee-deep in the water fishing out our disc, drink your beer and keep it to yourself.🤫🍺

Employee appreciation post!

Much of Southwest Yeast Lab’s success hinges on QC. In the lab, you’ll find Abby counting cells, monitoring propagations, and performing bacteria or water tests to ensure safe and good quality beer.

We’re so grateful to add her to the team! 😄

We can’t thank y’all enough! Last weekend was the grand opening of our new lab and family, friends, plus a few brewers showed up to celebrate. These fine people along with the many who couldn’t make it helped the yeast beasts get to this point. Y’all are the real MVPs, none of this would exist without your support… Special thanks to for donating the beer, for sponsoring the event, and for serving up some home cooked Mexican food!

The cool weather is here… Perfect timing for this balanced Bootlegger Brown Ale, on tap at Independence Brewing, made with our Tejano strain and some Indy magic. Stop by their taproom THIS Saturday from 2-9 PM for their 18th Anniversary Party to try it out. There will be music, games, and their tasty Delta-8 water which is a Yeast Beast favorite. Hope to see y’all there!

Meet the Yeast Beasts:

George Parra - CTO

I believe that brewing is the perfect blend of art, creativity, and technical science. Brewing is both a science and an art and this industry provides me the space to exercise my abilities in both of those areas. But why a yeast lab and not a brewery? My passion lies not only in the art and science of brewing, but in helping others express themselves to their fullest! As artists, brewers will grow, change, and evolve because there is always something more to be explored and experimented with. What we do in the lab improves the quality, and ensures the consistency of our brewer’s beer. Being in the lab has always fed my thirst for knowledge, but sharing discoveries with others keeps me going. I want to invite brewers on a journey of seeking knowledge and taking steps forward in an attempt to master our craft together.

Meet the Yeast Beasts:

Carlos Corona- CEO

To me, yeast is much more than just yeast. It’s the army of cells that turns wort into fellowship shared over beer with friends. Yeast is complex and is tied to many cultures unique to that country, state, and brewery. It’s an opportunity to create the best alcohol on the market. I believe propping up the community with extraordinary yeast will further cultivate a thriving community built on a passion for gathering together to make and enjoy delicious beverages. That’s why I’ve decided to grab this microorganism by the horns and engage with the fermentation community to make exceptional beer, wine, and spirits.

This low abv farmhouse saison brewed by Guadalupe Brewing Co was part of a charity event the Yeast Beasts were happy to be a part of. Brewed perfectly to be a refreshing + light summer beer. Shout out to Guadalupe for giving back to their community and donating the proceeds to St Judes Hospital from their Tour de Brew event.

“Ashlyn's Abbey is back on tap! 5.5% Belgian Blonde with strong notes of coriander and orange.”

Brian (owner/brewer) at BS brewing brought back home a beer from deep in the heart of Germany. The Yeast Beasts extracted the native Belgian strain for him, propped it up to 5 BBLs, and delivered to his front door. Stop by soon and taste this unique Abbey along with their delicious hand-ground hamburgers!

Foggy Season- Hazy French Saison. 7.5 ABV 30 IBU.

Another successful collab in the books with Ghost Note Brewing and Fitzhugh Brewing. We were honored to prop up 10 BBLs of a French Saison strain for them, providing these artists the best ingredients to make a fantastic beer. Huge shout out to these guys for continuing to support local businesses here in the heart of Texas!

“Hazy IPA + Saison with French ingredients. Belgian Pilsner malt, French grown hops, and French strain of Saison yeast pair with wheat, oats, and Hazy IPA brewing techniques to create a hybrid style beer that is highly attenuated and dry, yet still maintains a silky-smooth mouthfeel and big fruity hop character. Barbe Rouge, Triskel, and Aramis hops are layered in with the classic Saison phenolics to yield aroma notes of strawberry, tangerine citrus,pear, and white grape.”
