I just finished listening to the lagunitas story, in it he talks about only using one strain of yeast for all of their beers. Has anyone here tried it?

Is there a link to this podcast?
Rogue as well(pacman).
I'm to the point of only using two strains, Conan or pacman. Very happy with pacman for my dark brews and west coast IPAs. Conan is good in my hoppy wheats and low IBU pales.
I tend to shy away from the really yeasty English strains. They just jump out of the pint and hit me in the nose. Got a sixer of local porter a few weeks ago and can't hardly drink it because of the overwhelming stench of the yeast. While Conan contributes a lot in the yeast flavor department, it's nothing like some Brit strains.
It was a audiobook
I find many breweries only have one or two really good beers, the others are just there for completeness.
I agree! And this seems particularly more likely to be true for those breweries which have settled upon a single yeast for all of their brews.
