Thank you for this post. If the USA style of humanity is to survive it is essential
for the US Environmental Protection Agency to be able to track down and destroy the cause of CO2 in all drinks containing this toxic gas.

Since all carbonated drinks contain CO2 (sad but true) we must all make the hard choices, endure the shared sacrifices, and forgo our fair share of that which the EPA, in their infinite wisdom, has ruled is toxic.

Gotta close ‘cause I’m crying in my beer.

One show I show my students every year in biology is Modern Marvels “Brewing”. They make a compelling case that beer is one of the causes of civilization (the ability to store food and nutrients for long term use).

Modern marvels is one of the best science series out today. Most other documentaries are filled with trendy garbage. MM really teaches, most are quite good. They have one on brewing beer and two on distilling.

Must have seen my house in college.

Is this guy saying he mates with chickens?

We brewers were always taught that lager yeast was first isolated in the mid 1800s.

I'm wondering how they came up with the 1500s for the origin of said yeast.

No doubt it was revolutionary. It's the epitome of the fermentation process.

500 years ago, yeast's epic journey gave rise to lager beer

It also gave rise to epic infec .... no, no, noooooo baaaaaad marty

[ApplegateRanch]

the newly arrived yeast fused with a distant relative, the domesticated yeast used for millennia to make leavened bread and ferment wine and ale. The resulting hybrid — representing a marriage of species as evolutionarily separated as humans and chickens —

Now that the perp has been identified, will they be charged with yeastiality?

There is food value in beer.
BUT...
There is no beer value in food.

This simple fact proves that beer is better.
