Are Liquid yeasts a bit of a fad?

I forgot to mention that some breweries condition thair beer with a different yeast strain to that used in primary fermentation probably because they dont want anyone getting hold of there signature taste :nono:

You sure there Aleman. Lots of bottle conditioned beers are inocculated with a bottling yeast following filtration/pasteurisation, however a hefe bottled using lager yeast....wouldn't the lager yeast drop out resulting in a Krystal beer?

Cheers,

Completely sure, I've even poured a Krystal from a bottle of Schneider, but the trick is to stop pouring with about an inch or two in the bottle (Which is the way its done in Bavaria), and then to swirl the remaining beer to dislodge the yeast before tipping it back into the clear beer. In Germany they usually swirl the dregs and then give you the bottle and the glass allowing the customer to make the choice 'Mit Heffe' or 'Keine Heffe'
