Commonly known as lager yeast to brewers, this yeast is a hybrid of ''S. eubayanus'' and ''S. cerevisiae'' <ref name="wikipedia_cereisiae" />.
With recent whole genome sequencing data, it has been discovered that some strains of commercial yeast have been misidentified as either lager yeast or ale yeast. [http://sykesey.id.au/?p=20 ben Sykes reported] that publicly available genetic data for an upcoming study indicates that WLP800, the Czech lager yeast from White Labs, is probably potentially ''S. cerevisiae'' (ale yeast). WLP029 German Ale/ Kölsch Yeast is probably potentially lager yeast. WY1187 Ringwood is probably potentially lager yeast. WLP838 Southern German Lager Yeast is probably potentially ale yeast.
