The Beer Lab

The Glass Jug Beer Lab is an on-site brewery producing small batch experimental beers that you can only find in our taprooms and a handful of the best craft beer bottle shops, bars, and restaurants in the Triangle.

The Beer Lab gets its name from the experimental focus of the brewery with a focus on consistent, measurable, high-quality beer.

The goal of The Glass Jug Beer Lab is to cater to the ever-changing palates of our local customers. The small size of the brewhouse allows us to produce a large variety of different beers, using new, unique, and interesting ingredients to craft exciting flavors in each of our beers.

The Beer Lab operates as a working laboratory. There are strict quality control procedures in place to protect against bacterial or wild yeast contamination and to insure a process that is free of off-flavors. Every batch is measured, tested, and sampled to identify and remove any potential issues that may compromise the quality of the beer.

Brewing is at the intersection of art and science. The Beer Lab team utilizes our creative side when crafting recipes and sourcing ingredients, but once a beer rolls into production, we understand and respect the importance of sound scientific practices and we believe it will result in a superior beverage that you're going to love.
