Saw you added Surly Five. Have you tasted that one? I thought it one of the most unique all-brett beers I've tasted, not the least because of a level of sourness that I had previous only attributed to bacteria.

I did have a bottle a few months ago, but I don't remember it being that sour (although I agree more sour than most 100% Brett beers). With the oxygen available during the long barrel aging the Brett can make acetic acid. Of course it could be that the barrels ended up with a wild Lacto or Pedio flora?

Yeah, it certainly wasn't La Folie. I had it on draft and had a chat with one of the Surly brewers. Apparently they primary with one Brett, then gave it a heavy hit of oxygen and a fresh pitch of a different Brett when adding it to the barrels to get the sourness. I didn't get much more than a touch of acetic, though, despite the unique treatment.

Interesting, it is claussenii and anomalus per their website (not sure on the order though).

Well Finally brewed this one. a 1.048OG 4 grain Saison. Repitched slurry containing ECY11, WY3056. Added ECY02 Flemish Ale, and Dregs from Orval, Geuze Book, Haasans experimental raspberry.
Will add oak after krausen drops. Will see what happens in abt 1yr
