Default Big Sky Yeast

Hey guys, am trying to plan ahead, and want to brew a batch of Big Sky's Moose Drool. I have a recipe from brew365.com, but was wondering if anyone knows what yeast Big Sky uses. The recipe calls for White Labs English Ale Yeast (WLP002). So, the question is, is that the best yeast for this brew? Thanks for any insight!

-Mark

Unfortunately I have never had Moose Drool. But from looking at the catalog, the WLP002:
Is best suited for English style ales including, milds, bitters, porters and English style stouts. Will leave a very clear beer with some residual sweetness.

002 will need some agitation once fermentation slows because it is so flocculant and will clump together and fall out sometimes too early.

Moose Drool is a brown ale so 002 would work great. It is like cottage cheese though with all the clumping.
