Small Scale Pilot Production
If you’re a beverage brand preparing for buyer meetings and distributor presentations, or maybe you have an upcoming investor pitch, trade show or sampling initiative, then deciding if you should invest in product samples is a no-brainer. A small-scale pilot production of 2-200 cases is the perfect solution for commercial grade product samples that showcase your beverage in the best light possible. Learn more about our facility's capabilities.
"Thanks to The Lab [BevSource's Pilot Production and QA Facility], we fine-tuned our recipe, tested packaging in real-world conditions, and delivered a non-alcoholic beer that met our exact vision—ready for buyers, distributors, and consumers alike "
- Grant Wood, Brewmaster
Shelf-Life Testing
A shelf-life study determines how long your beverage remains stable at recommended storage conditions, including for taste, appearance, aroma, nutrient levels and microbiology.
Knowing your shelf life is not only critical for quality control and inventory management, but most major retailers now require third-party shelf-life validation for new beverage products.
A small-scale pilot is an ideal time to run a shelf life study as you'll need to supply product to a lab for testing. When you sign up for a pilot at BevSource’s QA & Pilot Production Facility, The Lab, our on-site quality lab makes it easy and convenient! Learn more about shelf life studies.
Co-Packer Identification
Finding the right co-packer isn’t just about having a list — it’s about making the right match for you and your beverage.
Finding a co-packer that can meet your specifications, budget, and timeline can be challenging. And choosing the wrong partner can result in serious quality, financial, and timeline setbacks — and those mistakes are costly to fix.
BevSource has spent over 20 years helping beverage brands identify and secure co-manufacturing partners that align with your product, scale, goals, and growth plans — in days, not weeks. We'll ensure you hit the ground running for spring resets! Learn more.
