Iflg De Danske Spritfabriker har Heikki ret. Det er en
kombinationsproduktion i Grenaa der som de eneste i Danmark fremstiller
bagegær.

Canadiske Lallemand, der fremstiller Windsor og Nottingham, har i øvrigt
også en fabrik i Grenaa.

You may even be right, although the baking yeasts I have seen on the
market tend to come from "De Danske Spritfabrikker".
True, "De Danske Spritfabrikker" produce baker's yeast in Denmark, but
don't be confused by the name. As I've mentioned earlier the only
efficient way to produce vast amounts of yeast as required by the baking
industry is to let yeast multiply in well oxigenated tanks where you
completely avoid the production of alcohol by maintaining the sugar
concentration close to zero. Yeast production and Alcohol production in
"De Danske Spritfabrikker" and other companies are completely separate
processes and they really have nothing to do with each other (except of
course the involvement of yeast cells).
Perhaps they use a
dedicated process for producing the yeast, but I would be surprised if
they had a specially optimised baking yeast strain, if their regular
spirit yeast would do the job. In any case, that yeast is not optimized
for an interesting beer flavour.
Then I'll have the exquisite pleasure to surprise you: Baker's yeast
production is HIGHLY specialised, and the DO have specially optimized
baking yeast strains (it is obvious if you think about it, baker's yeast
has to be optimized for certain properties like temperature resistance,
carbon dioxide production inside the bread, good taste in the bread,
etc.). Some yeast companies even use genetic engineering to enhance the
properties of their yeasts...
In any case your main conclusion is of course true: Baker's yeast is not
optimized for an interesting beer flavour... (but it will be beer
anyway... as you say)
