Six years ago, the paper that told us where kveik came from was published. In my mind, the immediate question to ask after that was: what about the farmhouse yeast that was not from Western Norway? Where did that fit? Luckily for me, and you, the same question occurred to Richard Preiss and Kristoffer Krogerus, two of the researchers behind that kveik paper, and the same year they started working to find out. Yes, in 2018.
