Modern brewing traditions are based on a very brief antiquity:
Farmhouse Beers: Find The Best Before They Become Extinct

The Norwegian Kveik has a lot of variations, and I was initially going to buy the Lutra strain and upon checkout it was out of inventory, and the Omega Yeast 091 Hornindal strain I ended up getting produces a tropical and dried stone fruit flavor profile and is the parent of Lutra (which gives a clean and lager effect when brewed at ale temperatures, with no specific fruit flavor imparted.) The only alternative at the time is the Espe strain which is it's own separate strain and gives a pear fruit flavor profile.
I'm going to revive the yeast from a bottle using Jovaru yeast strain from a farmhouse ale I made prior and may experiment on both the Kolsch and Maibock, swapping it with the Kveik yeast. (Update) some vulture capital organization seems to have taken over a popular homebrew company and rather than support it in it's new transition to a warehouse ecommerce and wait another week, I'm going to go elsewhere.

Pen Y Gwryd Hotel in Snowdonia, North Wales shown in the photo at 52:35 ( https://youtu.be/FPs88ac1WS4?t=3155 ) is the hotel that Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay practiced climbing the local mountain in the 1950s prior to ascending Mt. Everest (and that hotel was already 90 years old at the time of the photo.)
