Much like the recent surge in trying to find, restore, and cultivate ancient varieties if grapes in the wine world, there might be a push in the beer world to find ancient recipes and techniques. A scientist recently revived an ancient strain of yeast in a beer recipe that he is producing in California. While his original goal was to find ancient microscopic creatures for some sort of medical value, he ended up with a beer that has garnered some good reviews on the West Coast of the US. Much like Jurassic Park, the ancient organism was extracted out of a piece of amber, and while no medicinal properties were found, at least something positive came out of the hard work…………..Beer!
