Our Story
Beyers Chemical is led by Evan and Kelley Beyers, a husband-wife team whose love for chemistry, craft beer, kombucha, and wine inspired them to become experts and thought leaders in brewing sciences. They launched Beyers Chemical to make science easy for brewers and lab technicians by providing test kits that allow go/no-go decisions to be made quicker and without needing expensive equipment.
Evan and Kelley are TTB-certified beer chemists with degrees in chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology that founded Beyers Analytical Brewing Sciences (BABS), an industry-leading analytical laboratory for beer and kombucha testing. It was at BABS where they discovered the pains breweries have around critical testing problems, and launched R&D projects to create solutions. After many tests, iterations, and breakthroughs, they created the proprietary VDK+ Test Strips and the RedCheck Titratable Acidity Test Kit and formed Beyers Chemical to focus on getting these resources into the hands of brewers.
At Beyers Chemical, we believe that we can transform the fermented beverage industry by providing products and methodologies specifically designed to solve critical testing problems for brewers and winemakers. Our success will be measured by the number of customers who experience higher quality beverages and businesses that thrive even more due to the usefulness of our current and future products!

The Team
Emma Kerman, Sales and Marketing
Emma received her B.Sc. degree in Fermentation Science and Technology with a minor in Food Safety from Colorado State University. During her time at CSU, she began an internship at Beyers Analytical Brewing Sciences where she performed a variety of analytical testing on beer and kombucha and helped with the research and development of the VDK test strips. Upon graduation, she started working at a forensic toxicology lab and became account manager at Beyers Chemical. In 2021, Emma became a TTB certified chemist. In her free time, she likes to check out local breweries and restaurants.
Travis Clolinger, Sales and Production
Travis received his B.Sc. degree in Chemistry with a minor in Mathematics from Colorado State University. He has a background in analytical chemistry through working at a forensic toxicology laboratory while always having an interest in the science behind the brewing process as well as the final product. Travis deals with Sales and Production at Beyers Chemical. Outside of work Travis spends most of his time watching/playing soccer and taking advantage of all the outdoor activities Colorado has to offer.
