What others are saying

“I can’t say enough great things about the quality of the yeast and the quality of the service. The yeast is always fresh, healthy and ridiculously viable giving us reliable fermentation curves, attenuation, and cell counts. It’s so nice to have such a personal relationship with our yeast supplier- an email, text or phone call and yeast is growing and ready for pickup the day I need it. I simply couldn’t ask for more from a partner in fermentation."

"We are VERY happy with our results with this yeast. It's hitting the mark for us for our hazies."

As a small brewery located in Richmond VA we couldn’t be happier to support another small business in Richmond. We have made some really great beers using yeast from RVA Yeast Labs. We're particularly proud of the success we have had with The Doppler Effect, one of our flagship IPAs. We got 12th out of 324 IPAs in a blind competition for Paste Magazine and there was some huge competition in that one. The Doppler Effect also won a gold medal in the Virginia Craft Brewer’s Cup as well as both people’s choice and judge’s choice in the RVA Beer Blind competition. With RVA Yeast Labs, we get to support another local business and we get the freshest yeast possible!
