    Common knowledge, especially if you are in Hood River OR, where many things are named Wyeast.

    Well, I've leaned my something new for today, and it isn't even lunch time yet. Guess I'll call it a day. Goodnight.

    Remove the ", especially" from your sentence and I think we can agree.

    I had no idea. Considering the name has "yeast" right there in it, I always thought it had something to do with what they make and would have never guessed it was actually a location.

    Oddly though, the link to Mt. Hood does not actually go where you would expect it to.

    Sigh, I really thought I got that one right. Here is the correct link.
