New Yeast For Bitter?

[Saisonator]

Hi, I have been away from brewing for a year due to new addition to the family, also I had a run of disappointing beers which dampened my interest somewhat.
So I got back in the saddle a few weeks ago with an American Wheat beer made up of some left over grain which included some MO malt. It was the most slap dash but enjoyable brew day I have had, outside on my new decking in the sunshine, not even worried if it went **** up. Guess what, it turned out to be the best beer I have ever made!
Next brew will be an English Bitter from a Malt Miller AG kit I had made up.
I was wondering is there any new dry yeast on the market that are good for English Ales?

Lallemand ESB yeast may be interesting to try. Not tried it myself as have been enjoying West Yorkshire ale yeast and a fullers strain for a while now. May be worth a go though. Not far off the price of liquid yeast though but can see the appeal for convenience.

You can try some of the new range from Crossmyloof - there is Beoir Yeast - Scottish and Irish yeast or Hog-Norsk yeast (I'm not sure if it is not Kveik). Not typical English ale yeast but maybe you feel experimental.

I did an extract bitter with it five days ago. It started up pretty quickly and went from 1.040 to 1.012 in less than 48 hours. The hydrometer sample tasted good.

Good to be back.
They look interesting, I will have a look on here to see what people have tried.

I have both of those liquid yeasts in the fridge, overbuild from a starters I did 18 months to 2 years ago. I would guess I can resurrect them in a couple of stages.
The West Yorkshire is a bit of a pain with the way it wants to climb out of the FV.

I bottled this a couple of hours ago. The yeast was nicely compacted on the bottom of the carboy and it was fairly clear. It'll never win a gold medal, but is nice and smooth and I am happy with the results.
This was an extract no-boil batch.
