Making great beer requires many factors, but yeast usage is the single most significant one. This is especially true of Belgian style beers which owe much of their character to specific strains used during fermentation.

Lambic beers are produced in the southwest of Belgium through spontaneous fermentation and can be divided into three distinct categories; Gueuze, Fruit Lambic and Faro. Each type offers a dry, vinous or cidery character with acidity levels sometimes reaching acidity or even sourness levels that is unique among beers. While Lambics require time and experience to enjoy fully, these beverages provide a distinctive experience unlike anything else on the market today.

Dubbel beers feature rich caramel and plum-like maltiness balanced by complex ester character and subtle phenolic spiceiness, often with lower alcohol content than tripels and often having more subdued complexity than tripels. Good examples of dubbels include Chimay Red (also known as Premiere), St Bernardus Prior 8, Westmalle Dubbel, Corsendonk Brown Ale and New Belgium Abbey – each one offering something distinct but deliciously subtle!

Saison and farmhouse-style beers typically boast an aromatic spice, peppery or clove-like phenolic character which fades with ageing. To increase or diminish this characteristic, yeast strain selection plays a crucial role – select high attenuating strains like Wyeast 1214 or White Labs WLP500 which are suitable for high fermentation temperatures are best suited to creating these styles of beer.
