Im sure you know more about homebrewing that I, but from Ive gathered on Brett, its indestructible, unpredictable, and takes about half a year to really come through in flavor. NB used to say "unidentified flying yeast strains" on the bottles of BdM. I don't know how good of an idea it is to just add some Brett into some of the bottles; I think it's possible they could pop the tops off. I have some in a week and half old BerlinerWeisse I got from the last Black Star BrewDay. Details: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?p=566543#post566543 Mason,

I visited New Belgium Brewery while visting friends in CO and it was so great to have Biere de Mars on tap in the summer. I wound up bringing several growlers home, two of which were BDM if I recally correctly. I'm going to give it another shot, but it's been a while since my last tasting I'm going to be way off in terms of judging accuracy. I'll need to check my notes because I can't recall what yeast I used for the clone. I've heard people say that the BDM aroma had Brett characteristics, but not the taste so much. White Labs' WLP645 Brettanomyces claussenii might be a good choice going with that info; it's something to consider. Pardon my ignorance, but why would using Brett have caused New Belgium to cease production on the brew? You and me both.

That;s one of my all time favourite beers. I plan to brew it soon, only I don't have my own full system yet...They used Brett in theirs', which probably has a lot to do with why they didnt release it last year and wont again this year. I'd really love to taste it again; until then, I guess I'll be drinking Orval and Saisons... I'm also a member of Black Star. Im MarcoEsquandolas on the message board. Cheers! Hello,

Also, it could be said it would be nigh impossible to do something that has been done before. I like the brain age comment math verification system.

It was milky looking and he described it as 'sweet'. If you did such a brew I think it would be so uniquely you that you should feel comfortable naming it whatever you wish. Nobody will drink it though.. just an idea. I would also like to note for the record that I think the Bier de mars is deliciously light. the porter-fat tire-bier de mars fridge was a great combo. can't wait for the raspberry! the /cool/ AB was in Peru and he drank a local brew that was made by all the local women by chewing up yucca root and spitting the mash back into a pot to then let ferment.
