Lallemand Brewing, a global leader in yeast science and production, and EvodiaBio, an award-winning Danish bio-industrial start-up, are proud to announce their strategic partnership in bringing Yops™ to the brewing industry. Yops™ is a groundbreaking, natural, yeast-derived aroma solution, designed to enhance the flavor profile of low- and no-alcohol beers (NABLABs).
At Lallemand Brewing, we are committed to providing innovative solutions for NABLABs including the maltose-negative yeast LalBrew® LoNa™ for ultra-low attenuation fermentation and the inactivated specific yeast ISY Enhance™ to improve body and mouthfeel. Partnering with EvodiaBio allows us to take this one step further by providing brewers with a natural, high-quality, and consistent aroma solution. Yops™ enables brewers to address the challenges of crafting NABLABs by restoring the hop aroma compounds often lost during production, resulting in full-bodied and aromatic beers.
Through a patent-protected yeast fermentation process, EvodiaBio has developed an efficient method to produce some of these critical aroma molecules. Leveraging yeast capabilities to produce flavors, Yops™ provides brewers with a new level of control over the aroma profile of their beer in a natural manner, allowing them to achieve the desired fullness of taste and consistency.
“As demand for low and no-alcohol beers and sustainable solutions continues to grow, we are excited to collaborate with Lallemand, whose expertise and extensive distribution network will help bring Yops™ to a global market” said Camilla Kloss Fenneberg, CEO at EvodiaBio.
A Partnership Built on Shared Goals
Lallemand Brewing and EvodiaBio share a vision of empowering brewers with tools that enhance both product quality and creative possibilities. As part of this partnership, Lallemand Brewing will leverage its distribution network and direct sales capabilities in North America, the United Kingdom and Europe, to support EvodiaBio in introducing Yops™ to the market.
