We have the 3 following Wyeast Private Collection.

Wyeast Private Collection Ye Olde English Ale -
As far back as 55BC, Northern Europeans were enjoying ale as an integral part of their diet, and as a significant source of commerce. When hops were introduced in the 15th century, the hopped ale was called beer. The popularity of beer continued to increase, and beer became a mainstay of the European’s diet and economy.
Today, traditional English Ales are enjoyed around the world. The three yeast strains we are offering this quarter are particularly suited for the production of cask conditioned beers, which are the crown jewels of traditional English Ales.
British Cask Ale 1026 PC yeast produces a nice malt profile but finishes crisp and slightly tart. Wyeast 1469 PC West Yorkshire Ale will give you a full chewy malt flavor with a dry and balanced finish. Finally Wyeast 1768 PC English Special Bitter exhibits a mild malt profile with a neutral finish.
