Chris White, CEO of White Labs Inc., shares his insights on the 2025 Craft Brewers Conference (CBC) held in Indianapolis, IN. He discusses Indianapolis' history, what he has seen happen in the craft beer industry since the late 1990s, the importance of quality and cost-effectiveness of reusing yeast, how beer flavor impacts drinkability, and the winners of the World Beer Cup 2025.

White Labs Premium Dry Yeast is rigorously tested to ensure exceptional quality and performance, giving brewers the confidence to repitch with ease.
