Key Focus Areas of R&D Centers

Pinnacle Yeast 

The Pinnacle range of premium brewing yeasts from AB Biotek represents a breakthrough in fermentation technology, offering brewers versatile, reliable solutions for beer production. This range includes four distinct yeast strains, each specifically tailored to some of the world’s most popular craft beer styles, which together account for approximately 70% of global beer consumption. These strains are ideal for styles such as New England IPA, Pale Ale, Amber Ale, Brown Ale, and European Lager, ensuring brewers can achieve crisp, clear results that enhance the final product's flavor and appearance.

Each yeast strain in the Pinnacle range has undergone extensive testing by leading experts, including universities and craft brewers, ensuring superior quality and performance. One of the standout features of these strains is their superior fermentation capabilities, with fermentation processes completing 1-2 days faster than leading benchmarks. They also offer flexibility in direct pitching, allowing brewers to introduce them into the brewing process without pre-activation, streamlining workflows while maintaining exceptional product quality.

Produced in Europe, specifically the UK, by one of the world’s largest and most experienced yeast manufacturers, the Pinnacle yeasts deliver unmatched fermentation results. They ensure better diacetyl reduction, high flocculation rates (resulting in clearer beers), and neutral flavor profiles, allowing the hops and malts to stand out. These features make the Pinnacle range an ideal choice for brewers seeking efficient production processes, consistent quality, and enhanced control over the flavor and appearance of their beers.

Feedback from Master-Brewers
