BBBELG2 – OB Belgian Ale *BETA*

Availability: Exclusive, Limited, Bootleg BETA. This is potentially a one-time only release based on response.

Source: A traditional Belgian Oud Bruin producer.

OB is a rare treat. Never previously commercially available, this is the pure, clean yeast culture used to primary ferment a highly regarded traditional Belgian Oud Bruin. This culture does not contain Brett or Lactic Acid Bacteria.

Creates totally unique Belgian table beers and Abbey-style ales that are dry, pleasantly spicy, ester driven, and taste of candied sugar.

When producing traditional mixed fermentation Belgian beers we recommend copitching, or pitching in secondary, our Sour Solera Blend or Mad Fermentationist Saison cultures.
