Provenance
"Muren got the yeast from Einar Vestrheim. Vestrheim brews together with Tor Ølver Helland, who lived in Granvin in the 1980s. Helland got the yeast from his father-in-law Hans Haugse in the mid-80s, and has kept it alive since. Hans Haugse says he got the kveik from a man named Arnøy in Dyrvedalen in Voss. Arnøy is long since dead, but other sources remember him as Johan Arnøy. The kveik probably shares an origin with #2."
