Beverage Testing Facility and Quality Assurance

The Lab (Our Pilot & QA Testing Facility)

Pilot Beverage Manufacturing, Beverage Testing & Quality Assurance

BevSource's pilot and quality assurance testing facility, The Lab, is the first-of-its-kind facility created to be an innovation arm for beverage start-ups and an R&D playground for established beverage companies. This state-of-the-art commercial testing lab and small-scale production facility offers beverage owners the option to produce a small quantity of their new beverage on commercial-grade equipment. Ideal for new launches, consumer testing, or promotional initiatives, our pilot production program includes packaging materials and a suite of common quality assurance tests.

The Lab's Capabilities

The Lab was built and created by BevSource, beverage industry experts who have been breaking down barriers that keep great beverage ideas from starting and growing since 2002. We saw that a solution for small-scale production and affordable quality testing was needed in the beverage industry, so we rolled up our sleeves and built our own facility.
