Can these two go together?

But of course! There are a number of commercial EPA's made right now with American hops. I've made an IPA with WL002 and one with S-04 with Centenniel, EKG, Fuggles and Cascade hops that was very nice. Actually liked the S-04 a little better since it seems to highlight some of the bready qualities as well as some esters.

Well since I'm going to have some London Ale III ready to go by Sunday maybe I was figuring maybe I could make a indian brown ale or something similar. I have a bunch of my own cascade that I harvested a month or so ago in the freezer. I could also maybe use some styrian goldings with them. I also have cents and columbus.

The JPA recipe featured a British Ale yeast (1026 Cask Ale) with American citrus hops -- great beer, still today. Go for it!

Thanks guys. I'm convinced! To the recipe forum! heeeyyyoooooooooooooo!!!

Stone uses a British yeast and a lot of C-hops.

So does Lagunitas. I think some brewers like British strains because it flocs so nicely (and fast), leaving enough residual sweetness to balance the beer out in the process.

If I recall I think Wyeast VSS puts out 1026 again from Oct-Dec as well. Must obtain this year again. Zym. I agree with the posters, man if you can dream it you can brew it. Roll with it, there are a tons of great combos and Brit yeast with American Hops will go great. I think you will find a great combination whatever you brew and there are so many choices and options you could brew variations for a year or so too.
