    I recently had a wonderful tasting in Oklahoma and it appears my palate has finally taken a liking to Brettanomyces. Other than Saison Brett which beers do we get here that have Brett?

    Also if anyone happens to have a bottle of Love Buzz Saison they're willing to trade message me.


    Thanks for the help,
    -Matt

    The Lost Abbey and New Belgium collaboration is still on shelves (IMHO it doesn't hold a candle to Rayon Vert).
    The area is also swimming with Brux now (again...pick up Rayon Vert).

    Also from Green Flash - Le Freak doesn't have Brett in it (I think), but it definitely hits some of the same notes.

    Also forgot Mikkeller's - It's Alive. It's pretty common at any good bottle shop.

    I didn't think that JK had Brett. Just Hill Country Funk, Lacto, and Pedio.

    hmm, why don't they state that on their fancy website? Okay, I guess they do use Brett. whatever

    Boxer's Revenge should be out this week

    The New Belgium x Lost Abbey Brett Beer as well, but it's subpar compared to other offerings ITT.

    What kind of yeast do you think Hill Country Funk is?

    Not Brett. It strikes me as being more of a saison yeast.

    Try Ranger Creek's Small Batch #1. Don't smell the wax. The Beer is excellent.

    I was just about to suggest this after opening another bottle today. That beer wouldn't be nearly as good without the infection.
