I think it fair to assume that Brettanomyces was a characteristic of
*all* early British ales, not just porter.  DeClerq refers to it very
specifically as the source of characteristic fruitiness in British
ales:

   "The presence of certain so-called wild yeasts is essential for
   certain types of beer: species of Brettanomyces, which are
   non-sporulating yeasts, have the power of oxidizing acetic acid and
   alcohol in the presence of oxygen and also form aromatic esters which
   are essential for the production of the characteristic bouquet of
   British ales and stouts and for Lambic beer." vol 1, p 391.

Without *mandating* Brett, I would certainly like to see an attempt to
encourage such experimentation by homebrewers.

Frank Dobner asks if it is ethical to pass along BJCP exam questions. Not only
is it ethical, if you ask the BJCP Administrator you can get a copy of ALL the
questions currently in the pool for exams. The BJCC decided to make the
questions public last year. What you don't know is which questions will be on
the particular exam that you take.
