We are excited to announce the release on September 16, 2025, of LalBrew® House Ale, a yeast strain that sets a new benchmark in brewing performance. LalBrew® House Ale was selected by Escarpment Labs (ON, Canada) using selection criteria focused on identifying a strain that combines superior fermentation capabilities and brewers’ preference input in real world brewing environments.
Consider LalBrew® House Ale the new top choice for brewers seeking fermentation efficiency, quality, and consistency. Compared to traditional “house strains” commonly used today, LalBrew® House Ale offers:
Faster fermentations – higher throughput increasing production capacity.
Shorter maturation times – accelerated clean-up of diacetyl and acetaldehyde.
High stress tolerance – capable of handling difficult fermentations.
Excellent repitchability – genetically stable and proven consistency in key brewing parameters.
High FAN uptake – more stable final product.
Thanks to its neutral flavor profile, this versatile strain is perfect for crafting a wide range of ales. When combined with appropriate nutrients, LalBrew® House Ale is also an excellent choice for cider and hard seltzer production. Additionally, it can be used for bottle conditioning and re-starting stuck fermentations.
LalBrew® House Ale is a pure strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae with a recommended pitch rate of 50-100g/hL. The yeast is now available in 500g bricks and 11g sachets.
