The other day I came across a Reddit post entitled: “Beer
Made With 45 Million-Year-Old Yeast Found in Amber.”
And I was intrigued.
The link led to an Indiegogo campaign from the Fossil Fuels
Brewing Co. aiming to raise money to further their production of beer made
with ancient yeast. As the story goes, the idea was born after the “chance
discovery of a beautiful amber stone, replete with a 45 million year old leaf,
and a single yeast spore – still alive and itching to make beer.”
