Lallemand Brewing and Siebel Institute of Technology celebrate their fruitful partnership with Bero
Siebel Institute of Technology and Lallemand Brewing are proud to announce their successful collaboration with Bero, a premium non-alcoholic beer brand created by actor Tom Holland.
This partnership has resulted in the development of three unique beer styles: Kingston Golden Pils, Edge Hill Hazy IPA, and Noon Wheat, all brewed using LalBrew LoNa yeast.
The collaboration began with pilot batches brewed at the Siebel Institute of Technology, a renowned brewing school based in Chicago, USA and recognised for its research brewing facilities and expertise.
Grant Wood, Bero’s chief brewmaster, chose Siebel for these trials due to his long-standing connection with the institute.
“I thought of Siebel to do our pilot batches because I did my initial brewing training their way back in 1987. It was a great fit for Bero because we were focused on using the LalBrew LoNa yeast and Siebel is a part of that Lallemand team, ” Grant Wood, chief brewmaster at Bero said.
The LalBrew LoNa developed by Lallemand Brewing, plays a crucial role in creating Bero’s distinctive non-alcoholic beers.
This yeast allows for the production of flavourful and clean beers with less than 0.5% alcohol by volume, maintaining the rich taste and complexity that beer enthusiasts desire.
“The project challenged us positively on a number of levels while working closely with Grant, from arriving at the proper mashing regime needed, through to the end packaging stage to ensure product stability. It was a great learning experience for all involved, especially in utilizing LalBrew LoNa to arrive at the outcomes which pleased Grant and the Bero team’s expectations,” John Hannafan, general manager of the Siebel Institute added.
Since its launch in October, Bero has set the groundwork for significant distribution expansion in 2025.
