In previous posts<\/a>, I wrote about the discovery of the yeast strain S. eubayanus<\/em>, the likely candidate that produced a hybrid (with S. cerevisiae<\/em>) that we now use in the production of lager beer. Genetic sequencing of the most widely used lager yeasts (S. pastorianus\/S. carlsbergensis<\/em>) shows a 99%+ match with the non-S. cerevisiae<\/em> component of these cold-tolerant yeasts (see my paper on this issue<\/a>). Historically, brewers used S. cerevisiae<\/em> to produce ales that were fermented at higher temperatures. \u00a0However, sometime in the 15th\/16th centuries brewers in Bavaria began to produce beer at lower temperatures, reducing spoilage and producing a “cleaner” flavored beer that we now identify as “lager.”<\/p>\n

Many, if not most, researchers believe that this ability to ferment at cooler temperatures resulted from a S. cerevisiae\/S. eubayanus<\/em> hybridization event or events. We are beginning to see researchers\/brewers consider the use of S. Eubayanus<\/em> alone as a potentially viable industrial yeast for brewing beer.<\/a><\/p>\n

The latest publication related to the use of S. eubayanus<\/em> for brewing diverges into wine-making.\u00a0Magalh\u00e3es, et al. (2017) published an article in the July issue of FEMS Yeast Research<\/a>\u00a0entitled,\u00a0Exploring the potential of Saccharomyces eubayanus as a parent for new interspecies hybrid strains in winemaking.\u00a0<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

I have asked the lead author for a copy of this article and will report on the results once I get a chance to pour through it.<\/p>\n
