Testimonials

“Audrey/Imbibe is my go to lab for almost all of my wine analysis needs. Drop off is convenient, payment is simple, and results are on-time, always.”

Tim Gorman, Winemaker and Vineyard Manager, Cardinal Point Vineyard and Winery

“Working with Imbibe Solutions has been a great experience. Communication is always good – Audrey understands critical timing of test results from a winemaking perspective. We always feel confident in the accuracy of her results, and having a local lab allows us to avoid shipping, which could compromise our samples.”

Nathan and Rachel Vrooman, Ankida Ridge and Stinson Vineyards

“Running a small brewery, we needed something to supplement our modest lab in order to ensure the level of quality that we strive for in our beer. Imbibe Solutions has been that next step, taking guesswork out of the equation without a large learning curve or equipment expense on our end. Running a wild/sour program in the same space as a “clean beer” facility always has its risks, so when we were ready to pull a stout out of whiskey barrels Imbibe Solutions ran micro on each barrel to check for contamination, giving us the information we needed to eliminate any barrels from our blend that could have caused major problems once it was packaged.”

Gabe Slagle, Head Brewer Fine Creek Brewing Co.

“Imbibe Solutions has allowed Random Row, a small, neighborhood brewery, access to testing and services normally only accessible to large production scale breweries. As a brewery just starting to distribute beer, it was important for us to have the QC testing on kegged beer before we sent it out into the market. Through Imbibe, we have been able to catch a contaminated batch before it was sent out, saving us thousands in potential revenue from dissatisfied customers. The variety of testing available allows us to control our processes in a way that we could not afford to do on our own.”

Kevin McElroy, Brewer/Co-Founder Random Row Brewing Co.

“Imbibe Solutions has been a valued partner in quality control by helping improve our processes. Whether it was optimizing our transfer and packaging processes to reduce oxygen pickup to complete tank ABV, VDK, and microbiological testing. Imbibe Solutions’ quality control, lab capabilities, and knowledge base have become an integral part of our process here at Champion. We are given complete, vetted results in a timely manner every time. We are happy to have such a good partner to help us constantly improve the quality products we produce.”

Levi Duncan, Director of Operations, Champion Brewing Company

“Imbibe Solutions has been fantastic to work with. They are extremely cognizant of the implications of the data on production and the needed timeliness of results, worked within our budget to create an annual lab management program, and the data is always consistent and trustworthy. They even take the initiative to remind me to submit samples based on my production schedule. I feel like I have my own in-house lab without having to build or staff it. I highly recommend Imbibe Solutions to anyone who wants fast, affordable, and accurate results.”

Jessi Gatewood, Winemaker, Barren Ridge Vineyards

“Three Notch’d Brewing Company owes a great amount of our success to Audrey and Imbibe Solutions. The craft beer scene has never been more competitive and when the dust settles, the thriving breweries are the quality-focused ones. We’ve been working with Audrey on a weekly basis for over two years and we could not be happier with her service. We do not package any beer until Audrey has tested it for beer spoilers and given us her stamp of approval. As a new, growing company, there’s no way we could afford our own quality lab, so Imbibe Solutions is an invaluable resource for us.”

Dave Warwick, Brewmaster Three Notch’d Brewing Company

“Imbibe Solutions is great! When it comes to distilling, it’s all about knowing what’s in (or isn’t in) your spirit. Imbibe Solutions turns samples around super-fast with the accuracy a distillery needs.”

Ian J. Glomski, PhD, Founder, Vitae Spirits

“Being in a brewery without a full lab is a challenge for me and I would like to stress how much I appreciate the support Imbibe Solutions has provided. Having a double check on our testing has been a wonderful peace of mind, and when one test revealed questionable results, Imbibe’s council through the process helped me direct the proper actions for our team. I greatly appreciate your advice and expertise for helping build our quality program. It is a luxury to know we have the lab support I once had at Sam Adams.”

Mike Wayne, Brewmaster Nunavut Brewing Co.

“Audrey is awesome! Imbibe Solutions is awesome! This is awesome! I love meeting such talented and smart people in industries adjacent to me as I develop my own skill sets. Audrey has been incredibly helpful and generous with her knowledge while we develop our lab, and also she is always available to run analysis for me when I just can’t seem to get it right.”

Andy Hannas, Cidermaker, Potter’s Craft Cider

“Without any doubt, I’m brewing better tasting beer because of Imbibe Solutions. Whether I’m needing exact analytics on finished product or brewing water, Imbibe does it affordably and efficiently. It’s also nice to have someone way smarter than me to bounce ideas off of! I recommend Audrey to everyone that needs any biological or chemical services.”

J.W. Groseclose, Ramblin’ Brewer

“Working with Imbibe Solutions has been invaluable to our processes at Silverback Distillery. Our Honey Rye is a blend of rye whiskey and raw honey, creating a spirit with more sugar than our hydrometer can handle. Imbibe Solutions steps in to accurately measure our proof and ensure consistency in our product. We receive our readings back in a timely manner, and Audrey is incredible to work with. If you’re looking for assistance with your alcohol needs, look no further. Imbibe provides quick, accurate results with superb customer service!”

Lauren Riggleman, General Manager, Silverback Distillery
