Matthew Peetz, aka, the Yeast Whisperer has been propagating yeast before it was the cool thing to do. Like many brewers, it all started with a homebrew kit that Matthew received at this college graduation.





After finishing a Masters degree Matthew went on to work at a number of fermentation related jobs, at CU Denver, The Brewing Science Institute, and Gevo inc. However, the desire to make an impact in the beer industry was persistent as so in 2014 Matthew founded Inland Island Yeast Laboratories, getting the company started in a spare bathroom filled with homemade propagation equipment. Things at Inland started taking off and by 2017 Matthew had grown the company and had moved from working hands on with his favorite pal yeast, to managing payroll, employees, and emails.





Wanting to get back to the root of his passion, Matthew downscaled to create a company that focuses on providing the most high quality, freshest, and consistent yeast to his customers. He wants to be the one who opens the door and shakes the hand of every customer that walks in the door. For that reason, Matthew created Propagate Lab. A company that focuses on personal relationships with local customers.
