Yeah, that's right, 45 million year old yeast used to brew beer.
From the article:
I'd be interested in trying it.
Yeah, that's right, 45 million year old yeast used to brew beer.
From the article:
Activating the ancient yeast, Cano now brews barrels (not bottles) of pale ale and German wheat beer through the Fossil Fuels Brewing Company.
"You can always buy brewing yeast, and your product will be based on the brewmaster's recipes," said Cano. "Our yeast has a double angle: We have yeast no one else has and our own beer recipes."
The beer has received good reviews at the Russian River Beer Festival and from other reviewers. The Oakland Tribune beer critic, William Brand, says the beer has "a wierd spiciness at the finish," and The Washington Post said the beer was "smooth and spicy."
Part of that taste comes from the yeast's unique metabolism. "The ancient yeast is restricted to a narrow band of carbohydrates, unlike more modern yeasts, which can consume just about any kind of sugar," said Cano.
I'd be interested in trying it.

That's awesome!!!!! Would love to try it.
A majority of a good, complex beer come from the yeast strains. For instance.. Chimay always has a little yeast on the bottom of the bottle. If you culture the yeast and brew a belgian double, it will taste just about exactly like Chimay.
...I wish I had Guiness yeast. I can't seem to make anything that is even close....Which sucks when it's one of your favorites. I've made some great beers in various styles, but clones are tough because of the yeast.HT
