Write a review, click HERE!Brettanomyces lambicus is a wild yeast strain isolated from Belgian lambic beers. It produces a pie cherry-like flavor and sourness along with distinct “Brett” character. A pellicle may form in bottles or casks. To produce the classic Belgian character, this strain works best in conjunction with other yeast and lactic bacteria. It generally requires 3-6 months of aging to fully develop flavor characteristics.This Wyeast strain is known by it’s old nomenclature, Brettanomyces lambicus, while rapid PCR analysis confirms that genetically it is Brettanomyces bruxellensis. This strain remains known as B. lambicus because of the name’s historical relevance and unique profile.

The name Wyeast means a lot to our region, because it's the Native American name for Mt. Hood. According to legend, there was an epic battle between two brothers, Wyeast and Klickitat, over the beautiful Loowit. The struggle was so fierce that the Great Spirit transformed them all into mountains. Klickitat became Mt. Adams, Loowit became Mount St. Helens, and Wyeast became Mt. Hood. This region is rich in craft beverage and fermentation culture, and home to some of the best breweries in the world. Since 1986 Wyeast Laboratories in Hood River, Oregon, USA has been leading the way by providing premium fermentation products.
