What began as home brewers searching for higher quality yeast, grew into a team of dedicated biochemists exploring new ways to advance their passion for brewing altogether.
White Labs was founded through homebrewing back in 1995 and today we continue to cherish the community as it is the backbone of this company.

January - March 2025
WLP037 Yorkshire Square Ale Yeast
This yeast produces a beer that is malty and well-balanced. Expect toasty flavors with malt-driven esters. Highly flocculent and a good choice for English-style pale ales, brown ales, and milds.
WLP4053 Midtbust Kveik Ale Yeast
This single strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolated from Odd H Midtbust’s house culture exhibits a clean fermentation character and restrained ester profile, allowing the malt and hop character to shine. Perfect for use in any style where malt and/or hop character is at the forefront of the profile.
The clean fermentation character and flexible fermentation temperature make this strain perfect for quick and easy pseudo-lagers. Sit back in the sun and enjoy crisp crushers in just a few days!
April - June 2025
WLP548 Original Grodziskie Yeast Blend
We are excited to be part of the revival of the iconic Grodziskie style, a 100% smoked wheat ale in the sessionable 2.5-3.3% ABV range, that defines Poland’s rich brewing heritage, with a yeast blend collected from the original Grodziskie brewery straight from the revived Grodzisk Brewery in the city of Grodzisk Wielkopolski, Poland.
WLP808 Mythical Hammer Lager Yeast Blend
Forged by the brewer gods themselves, a mythical tool of magical yeast cultures waiting for the one who could wield their raw power. With these yeasts, brandished by the experts of White Labs and Clawhammer Supply, comes a rare blend of lager strains that is sure to become legendary: WLP808 Mythical Hammer Lager Yeast Blend.
A multifaceted lager yeast blend, also capable of pressurized fermentation, creates a beer that is elegant and crisp, with subtle citrus aromas. From American Light Lagers to Cold IPAs, Mythical Hammer transcends the boundaries of lager beer.
July - September 2025
WLP515 Antwerp Ale Yeast
Clean, almost lager-like Belgian type ale yeast. Good for Belgian type pale ales and amber ales, or with blends to combine with other Belgian type yeast strains. Biscuit, ale-like aroma present. Hop flavors and bitterness are accentuated. Slight sulfur will be produced during fermentation, which can give the yeast a lager-like flavor profile.
WLP835 German X Lager Yeast
Classic yeast from a famous Bavarian monastery. This strain develops a creamy, malty beer profile with low sulfur production and low esters. It is a great choice for styles like traditional helles, Oktoberfest, bock, and dunkel.
October - December 2025
WLP096 FrankenYeast Blend®
WLP885 Zurich Lager Yeast
A Swiss-style lager yeast that, with proper care can be used to produce lagers over 11% ABV. Sulfur and diacetyl production is minimal, but the strain is POF+. Perfect for a phenolic Christmas Lager strain.
