As general manager at The Lab, Adam and his team help beverages stay on the leading edge of innovation and quality. We are also a SpecMetrix certified facility for aluminum can quality testing.Īdam Smith excels at bringing teams together to achieve technical beverage innovation the world has never seen at a level that most of the world can’t yet understand. The Lab also boasts a full-service laboratory offering analytic, microbiological, and quality assurance testing including alcohol analysis, gluten, and nutritional testing, shelf life testing, and more. We are licensed for beer, wine, and spirits. We support pilots in 20+ alcoholic and non-alcoholic categories including RTD cocktails, hard seltzers, fermented/Kombucha, CSDs, energy, tea, and functional waters. Small-scale production is also a cost-effective option for consumer sampling initiatives, focus groups, or regional distribution. Our commercial-grade pilot production facility is ideal for experimental beverages, collaboration brews, or small runs for professional presentations to investors, retailers, and distributors. The brainchild of Janet Johanson and Matt Hall, The Lab was created to offer beverage makers a place to conduct small-scale manufacturing and to provide access to affordable quality testing. In 2019, BevSource opened The Lab as an innovation arm for beverage start-ups and an R&D playground for established beverage companies.
