Provenance
"Skjold inherited the yeast from his wife's uncle, Lars Maardalen. Lars Maardalen got the yeast in 1972, from his own father, Hans Mårdal. It has been used in Tinn, Telemark. The last decades it has been used to brew a sugar-based beer, but it probably comes from real farmhouse brewing prior to that."
