Crooked Stave CMY brett strains

[hirschb]

I just picked up a bottle of the Evil Twin / Crooked Stave collaboration beer: Ryan and the Gosling. It states that the beer was made with CMY-1, CMY-5, & CMY-7 brett strains. According to the Funkfactory brett strain guide, CMY-1 is a proprietary Drie mutant that Chad uses, but I'm having trouble finding any info on the other two strains. Based on the CMY designations, I'm assuming these are additional brett strains that Chad has cultured, but does anyone know what they might be? I'm probably going to culture the dregs regardless, but it'd be cool to know what I'm getting.
Thanks!

I do not know what they are, but if you have had other crooked stave beers then you know they all have about the same Brett character. I wouldn't doubt they are all Chads strains. I just started a sour "drew jar" and added these dregs so I'm also interested to hear what others think about those strains. Good beer though!

Those are just his initials, followed by a number. Clever way to isolate things and assign a name to them that's super ambiguous. There's no way to know aside from asking him or seeing his isolation notes. Good luck!

Since the evil twin beer was probably brewed at Westbrook, it's probably just got the brett in it. Anything brewed at crooked stave, will have a rather aggressive lactic bacteria as well. Pretty funny when you listen to early interviews where he talks about brett beers not all being sour, making 'clean' brett beers etc, and then pretty quickly spread a bacteria through the brewery and product line.

Im alright with that bacteria. It was brewed at Westbrook but like I mentioned it has that distinct crooked stave sourness to it so I wouldn't be surprised if the lacto was present as well.

I don't remember much sourness in the bottle I tried. I have another one, so I'll pay closer attention this time.
