Beer has yeast extracted from whale fossils 35 million years

Researchers have discovered the yeast that makes beer on whale fossils for 35 million years .

Recently, a beer producer in Virginia, USA created a beer made of yeast on a 35 million-year-old whale fossil. This yeast was discovered by Jason Osborne and Jason Akerboom. Accordingly, the taste of new beer - Bone Dusters Paleo Ale is said to be sweet and wild.

Researcher Akerboom said that their original plan was to decode ancient yeast samples inside amber pieces and try to collect other yeast samples at Calvert Museum, Maryland. They collected about 20 of the fossils there but were disappointed.

Fortunately, after many search efforts, the researcher found a variant of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae - a yeast used by many breweries in the fossils of extinct whales.

The researchers named the variant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Saccharomyces cerevisiae var protocetus - in the extinct fossil whale's body 35 million years ago.

Akerboom said: "We will do two tests with yeast found to ferment the mixture for this beer. The taste of this beer is quite special, they are sweet and have the flavor of Belgian beer." .

Researchers hope that this naturally occurring yeast will help them open up new ideas in brewing beer.
