Testimonials
A clean yeast with subtle apricot and stone fruit esters and we can easily push the BRY-97 up to 10 generations.
Bry-97 has become our primary strain for most American styles and we have moved some of our core products to it from pitchable liquid, we couldn’t be happier with the results!
We use LalBrew® BRY-97 extensively, as our quote on quote clean American yeast. I also love your Belle Saison yeast, it’s rock solid reliable. It always ferments down, it ferments fast and it always give us that aesthetic Belgian twang. We have used it exclusively in pretty much all of our Saison style beers for years now. Belle Saison, I prefer Belle Saison over pretty much any other Saison yeast made that I have tried (liquid or dry).
