What’s a lager bitter? Also 10% dark crystal seams too much and use white sugar. Head retention use Torrefied wheat or wheat malt.
Favorite English yeast?

British - apparently some US company stole my name
They came from nowhere and suddenly have a big range of liquid yeasts, that explicitly reference the likes of White Labs in their marketing. You figure it out...
I think the naming lager bitter (Which I made up) is pretty much self explanatory, isn't it?
Ten percent dark crystal is fine, it's balanced by 10% Demerara sugar (didn't say anything about white sugar!) and also the higher attenuation of the lager yeast.

I have no idea where they sourced the strains, maybe they just use the WL description as a reference point so consumers have some kind of an idea what type of yeast they are buying?
However, if they did indeed start by just propagating yeast from another company at least it's good to have access to a fresher version here in Europe but it looks like they have stopped producing home brew sized liquid yeast. As far as I can see only the dry versions are available in small packs now.
Another company producing liquid yeast in the EU is Fermentum Mobil in Poland.
Several British strains included but if you click on the detail they also compare them to WL & WY strains.

BTW sorry to the OP for going a bit
Edit: After posting above I went to the homepage from Fermentum Mobile and it says they are joining forces with WHC

They are available in 30ml homebrew sized vials in several shops across the EU & UK.
