Boulevard filters all of their beer and bottle conditions with a different strain.

Oh that's a bummer. I just assumed it was a nice saison yeast.

Yeah, they condition their low abv strains with something like Windsor yeast, and use Champagne yeast for the big beers. There is a power-point here that discusses their bottle conditioning (as well as duvel's); see page 4 for the choice of yeast.

Choosing the right dry yeast
• Alcohol tolerance*
– Ale yeast up to 8 ABV
– Champagne yeast for 8 ABV to 11 ABV
• POF+ / off-flavor
• Speed of bottle-conditioning
• Attenuation
• Firm sediment in bottle
• No flake formation
• Good glass adherence
