Fermentis and CBS join forces to create convenient all-in-one solutions to help brewers diversify their NOLO range and master their beverage signature.
We are pleased to announce an exciting new partnership between Fermentis and Customized Brewing Solutions (CBS) for the development of best-in-class non-alcoholic and low-alcohol (NOLO) beers. To support craft brewers entering the NOLO market, this collaboration combines Fermentis’ unique know-how for the creation of NOLO beer with CBS’s rich expertise in the development of complex natural products for beer signature.
This venture will bring to the market a range of products and solutions designed to enable brewers to develop and diversify their NOLO offerings. These products will make creating high-quality NOLO beers of any chosen style more accessible for breweries of all sizes. We will also address customer-specific projects, combining production and diversification of no- and low-alcohol beers.
“We’re very happy with this partnership. It brings together key competencies, knowledge, and solutions to respond to important consumer trends and current challenges faced by brewers. Fermentis and CBS share the same priorities and focus on the highest performance and quality standards.
“I’m convinced we’re the future of high-quality NOLO beers made accessible to all brewers. Together, we’re truly the obvious choice for no- and low-alcohol beer signature.”
Stéphane Meulemans, General Manager at Fermentis
“At CBS, our specialty is late-stage differentiation of beer with natural ‘brand-makers. Together with Fermentis we’re now applying our expertise to non-alcoholic beers. Their innovative yeasts provide an excellent base beer, and our solutions allow differentiation into multiple beer styles with their respective character, flavor and diversity.
“From a classic non-alcohol lager, brewers can now craft an IPA, stout, sour ale or witbier. By combining Fermentis’ mastery of fermentation with our unique expertise in beer flavor signatures; and with their global reach; we believe this partnership will set a new standard and make us a true and inevitable reference in the world of non-alcoholic beers.”
Pablo Alvarez, CEO at CBS
