15th century Bavaria gave birth to lager beer

The lager vanguard evolved into a staple trend, commanding the 19th and 20th-century beer palates, most notably in America. Moreover, the original yeast, scientifically known as Saccharromyces cerevisiae, has been used for centuries to make ale beer, bread and wine. The fundamental difference between lagers and ales is in the yeast. Ale, which was a popular drink before beer was discovered, is usually made from a common type of yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

The evolution of beer yeast

Using cutting-edge DNA sequencing techniques, scientists have managed to trace the origin of the yeast used to create lager beer to 15th century Bavaria, in Germany. Yeast are known as a necessity for making bread, ales, wine, and beer. It resulted in a much lighter and smoother form that after they shared with neighboring Bohemian, persisted on taking over the 19 and 20 century, particularly in America. The results suggested that the Saaz and Frohberg lineages (named for their area of Read more [...]

Scientists Determine Lager Beer Origins

Scientists discovered an ingredient in hops which they think could slow the progression of degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, it was announced in January. Using next-generation sequencing techniques, scientists have traced the origin of the yeast used in making the most popular lager all the way back to 15th century Bavaria in Germany. A lighter and smoother beer was the result, which grew in its popularity, spreading to the nearby Czech kingdom of Bohemia. While Read more [...]

15th century Bavaria gave birth to lager beer

Using novel sequencing techniques, a team of US researchers have traced the origins of the yeast used in making most popular lager beer all the way back to 15th century Bavaria in southeastern Germany. The team from University of Wisconsin-Madison found that the lager beer was created during the 15th century when Bavarians first noticed that beer stored in the caves during the winter continued to ferment. The result was a lighter and smoother beer that, after sharing it with their neighbouring Bohemians, Read more [...]

A Better Beer? Yeast DNA Sequenced to Track Brews’ Evolution

The yeast fungus that makes beer has gone through its own stages of evolution, overseen by brewers over the centuries. Now, a biologist has sequenced the genome of a key yeast, S. cerevisiae x S. eubayanus hybrids, which produces most modern beer — potentially opening up a whole new world of beer “There’s going to be a lot of opportunities,” said Chris Hittinger, of the University of Wisconsin–Madison, in an interview with Laboratory Equipment. “It’ll be a question of whether there Read more [...]

Lager beer was first created in Bavaria in the 15th century: new DNA-sequencing

Beers stored in caves began to ferment. By Raif KareratFollow @ambazaarmagWASHINGTON, DC: Using cutting-edge DNA sequencing techniques, scientists have managed to trace the origin of the yeast used to create lager beer to 15th century Bavaria, in Germany.While the earliest yeasts known to man have been used for millennia to make ales, bread and wine, lager beer — and the yeast used to create it — dates to just 500 years ago.According to historical accounts, brewers in Bavaria began to notice Read more [...]

15th century Bavaria gave birth to lager beer

Many discrete kinds of beers now exist, including ales, lagers, pilsners, and ciders, to name the most popular few. But at the heart of the matter is a key ingredient, yeast, which has a fascinating evolutionary story that begins in a cave more than 500 years ago.Lager beer is loved by people across the globe. Now, though, researchers have attempted to solve the mystery. He dubbed it Saccharomyces eubayanus.
