I'm game....Gimmie a sip of that.

EDIT: The distributors site

 

[newguy]

Cool. I'd like to try it. Makes me wonder what other unusual places you can find unusual yeast strains. But I don't think I'd be able to sell a beer named My Sweaty Pouch Swab Stout.

the ultimate rare strain of yeast? i must has it!!!

 

[quantocks]

the site says no distributors until after the launch. which was in july. so the page hasn't been updated, there are no distributors and I'd say this beer isn't going to break any records in sales or price.

At first look this got me laughing. Then I began to think, and one of the mosto common bacteria in the puss is Lactobacillus.

So aren't all Lambics part OPB's :icon_drunk:
Thos belgiums new what was good for them.

 

[Bizier]

So thaaat is the taste I couldn't pick in Orval....

 

[trevc]

Orval tasted and smelled like fish to me. To date, it's the only real Belgian beer that I didn't like.

 

[Bizier]

That is why they made their logo a fish...

Smelled like fish eh? Sounds like something else...

...this thread is going downhill fast! :unsure:
:icon_offtopic:

Anyway, on topic. I like the sound of a pre-historic yeast strain. Could be the beginnings of a totally new and unique beer style.
