No soured beer in Special Export, which makes it a more one-dimensional. Up to the early 90s, it was bottle-conditioned, and was also a touch stronger (8% ABV, now down to 7,5%). Brewed for the belgian market, distributed by John Martin there. It's a pretty common sight in France and Switzerland as well.

Were this assertion true, breweries and wineries from California to eastern Europe would be burned down on a daily basis. Cantillon, Boone, Hanssens...all gain more horseblanket over time? I wish that it were so because I love horse/mouse/goat.

Your experience is what? Homebrew? Hanssens? Oud Beersel used to pasteurize it's 'beeks?

I have both purchased beers with Brett and used pure Brett cultures (several strains). Your assertion that Brett "continue[s] to work" is bunk. It ejects when it can no longer find anything to digest (paraphrase: "Brett can eat anything" is further bunk). Nothing can eat everything. We'd have low-grade vodka if this were true.

Did you? Did the horseblanket knock you down?
