Berkeley Yeast

Berkeley Yeast, a brand driven by science and care, focuses on harnessing the potential of a humble organism: yeast. As dedicated scientists, we believe in using yeast's controllable and scalable properties as biofactories to revolutionize the production of fermented foods and beverages on a commercial scale. While we currently develop cutting-edge yeast strains for brewers and winemakers, our technology extends far beyond these industries.

For thousands of years, fermentation has shaped the foods and drinks we enjoy worldwide, from beer and wine to bread, cheese, vinegar, soy sauce, and even chocolate. At Berkeley Yeast, we see an exciting horizon of possibilities waiting to be explored. Our commitment extends beyond scientific advancement—we strive to ensure our work benefits both the planet and people.

From reducing resource-intensive crops to making it easier for brewers to achieve desired flavors, we operate with an unwavering dedication to responsible and sustainable practices. Our team comprises individuals with keen intellect, curiosity, and a deep-seated desire to contribute to a better world. Whether they are passionate beer enthusiasts, avid climbers concerned about wildfires, or parents invested in securing the future of food sources, our diverse team brings their expertise and care to every project.

If you share our values and vision, we invite you to join us on our mission. Berkeley Yeast is seeking smart, creative individuals who are passionate about their work. Together, we harness the power of science for the greater good.
