===Recent Yeast Lab Analysis===
Thanks to efforts by Lars Marius Garshol, and Norwegian farmhouse brewers Svein Rivenes, Sigmund Gjernes, and Bjarne Muri, kveik has been made available to brewers around the world.
====Sigmund Gjernes's Voss Kveik====
The [https://catalogue.ncyc.co.uk National Collection of Yeast Cultures] found that a sample of Sigmund Gjernes's kveik was made up of three strains of ''S. cerevisiae''. No bacterial contamination was found. DNA fingerprinting found the strains to be closely related <ref>[http://www.garshol.priv.no/blog/materials/ncyc-3995-report.pdf Analysis of Sigmund Gjernes Voss yeast sample for Lars Marius Garshol, RÆLINGEN NORWAY.

[[Omega Yeast Labs]] and [[The Yeast Bay]] independently isolated one of the strains from the Voss Kveik. It is not known if these are the same strains, or which NCYC strain they correspond to. However, they are thought to be similar in their flavor profile <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1207326749295537/?comment_id=1207856785909200&reply_comment_id=1207859749242237&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R9%22%7D Conversation with Lance Shaner and Lars Marius Garshol on MTF. 01/04/2016.]</ref>.
