What's New In History - Elusive Yeast That Gave Rise to Lagers Found in Europe for the First Time

Humans have a LONG history with brewing. For example… did people really CHEW their beer?? Bernie takes us way back to the first evidence of humans brewing beer and returns to the present with a fresh find of the yeast strain that’s used in nearly all beers brewed today. Crack open a cold one and have a listen! Cheers!
