I know some breweries use yeast we can get our hands on (wyeast, whitelabs, etc.) but there are definitely some who have obtained something different, or created their own. I know the Treehouse yeast is much sought after with plenty of people on this forum doing lab analysis on it trying to figure out what it is with. I would love to start propping up various pro yeasts and creating my own pro yeast database/yeast bank.
What I am looking for here is more so a list of breweries we think are NOT using some of the readily accessible brands. Like I said, I intend to start with Treehouse because it is pretty accessible to where I live, but I'd be curious about a lot of the big ones like The Veil, Other Half, Bottle Logic, breweries like these if anyone knows. Even if these big, "hype," breweries are using mainstream yeast I would still like to know so I can cross it off my "ISO" list.
Master List So Far
Treehouse
New Belgium*
Bell's*
Urban Artifact (uses local caught yeast and lacto)
The Veil (uses a yeast blend at least for IPAs)
Lone Pint [TX]
Chuckanut [WA]
*- some disagreement/uncertainty about validity
