Beer and Liquor Analysis
Independent Testing for Alcohol Quality, Safety, and Disputes
Phase 4 Services provides third-party laboratory testing for beer, spirits, and other alcoholic beverages. We help breweries, distilleries, and regulators evaluate product integrity, detect contamination, and resolve labeling or quality concerns.
We serve clients in Massachusetts, New York, Maine, and throughout the U.S.
What We Test
Alcohol Content Verification
We analyze alcohol-by-volume (ABV) using validated instrumentation to confirm label accuracy and compliance with state and federal standards.
Contamination and Adulteration
Our lab detects microbial contamination, chemical adulterants, heavy metals, and unknown substances that may affect product safety, shelf life, or taste. We support investigations of off-flavors, spoilage, and consumer complaints.
Label and Regulatory Compliance
We provide analytical chemistry testing to support regulatory filings and ensure products meet TTB, FDA, and state-level requirements. Our reports are suitable for both internal QA and third-party audits.
Litigation and Expert Support
For legal cases involving recalled or disputed alcoholic products, we offer defensible testing results and expert witness support. Our forensic lab services include chain-of-custody documentation and review of competing test results.
