[edit] Source information

Please state the source for:

"a yeast native to the Senne valley near Brussels, Belgium".

I have never heard of a yeast population being defined to a certain geographical region. Otherwise this statement should be removed. §ĉҺɑʀκs 13:22, 22 March 2006 (UTC)


The name of the organism already says where it comes from. See also the french wiki page fr:Brettanomyces_bruxellensis or additional sources on Belgian beer as for example the Lambic article or external links such as [1] or [2]. Spontaneously fermented Lambic can only be made in the area where these yeasts occur.

It would seem quite obvious the name comes from that bruxellensis may have first been isolated near brussels, rather than to it actually originating from this place. And ofcourse B. bruxellensis is "native" to the whole world, as most yeasts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.170.216.29 (talk) 04:00, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
