| Northeastern Abbey || || 77-81 || Med-Low || 68-73 || This yeast was isolated from a beer crafted by a well-known producer of Belgian-style ales in the Northeastern United States. This yeast produces a very mild spiciness and earthy flavor and aroma which is complemented by a subtle but magnificent array of fruity esters, including pear and light citrus fruit. The brewery from which this strain was isolated uses it in a very versatile manner across an array of Belgian styles. We prefer using this yeast for any and all light Belgian beers, including Wit, Belgian Pale and Belgian Blond, in addition to any experimental fruit beers in which a more unique and robust flavor and aroma profile is desired. Expect this yeast to produce a large, thick krausen.

| Funktown Pale Ale || || 78-80 || Medium-Low || 68-74 || Funktown Pale Ale is a blend of our Vermont Ale strain and <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">a unique strain of Brettanomyces that is well suited for primary fermentation</span> Saccharomyces "Bruxellensis" Trois. The combination of the citrus/peach esters from the Vermont Ale strain and the very light funk and pineapple/mango esters from the Brettanomyces produces a unique flavor and aroma profile that is fruit-forward. Expect this blend to finish drier than the Vermont Ale. We recommend following a similar fermentation scheme as is used for the Vermont Ale, fermenting at 67-69 ºF for 3-4 days, and then raising the temperature to 72 ºF until a stable gravity is reached. Contains a strain that is determined to be [[Saccharomyces#Saccharomyces_cerevisiae_var._diastaticus|''Saccharomyces cerevisiae'' var. ''diastaticus'']] <ref>[https://www.theyeastbay.com/wild-yeast-and-bacteria-products/funktown-pale-ale Funktown Pale Ale. The Yeast Bay website. Retrieved 03/20/2018.]</ref>.
