[…] you're up for a classic Brett beer, you might try an Orval clone. The yeast used in primary will be available soon from White Labs: WLP510, Bastogne. Here's some info from White Labs. Orval is about $7/bottle here. […]

I’m looking forward to this.
Are you able to share the origin of the WLP860 – Munich Helles Yeast? Is it a strain from the Weihenstephan Yeast Bank?
Any chance we’ll see the WLP644 Brett Brux Trois again?
It was elevated to full-time status based on strong support from brewers like you!
This is a fun topic, but White Labs does not generally discuss the origin of strains. Your best guesses are welcomed!
Does this mean no more Flemish ale blend?
Kaiser, a Sunday Session with Chris White from 2006 or 2007 suggested that many of the strains come from European yeast banks, including Weihenstephan.
