Origins of Lager Found In Argentina
utkonos writes "After decades of pondering, scientists have found the secret to the creation of lager. An elusive species of yeast isolated in the forests of Argentina was key to the invention of the crisp-tasting German beer. From the article: 'Their best bet is that centuries ago, S. eubayanus somehow found its way to Europe and hybridized with the domestic yeast used to brew ale, creating an organism that can ferment at the lower temperatures used to make lager. Geneticists have known since the 1980s that the yeast brewers use to make lager, S. pastorianus, was a hybrid of two yeast species: S. cerevisiae — used to make ales, wine and bread — and some other, unidentified organism.'"

How do they know it wasn't the other way around? Maybe we Europeans brought it as a gift to our New World brothers.

- Chuck Norris is not just some unidentified organism, he alone brings the fine essence of power to wines and ales.
You can't handle the truth.
Maybe if the average beer drinker knew that his brew was made possible by a rare yeast found in an obscure gall plant found in Patagonia he'd be more supportive of conservation efforts!
Then again he'd probably just change the channel from the Discovery channel to ESPN.
where the lager beer was invented in the brewery of Anton Dreher.
I hate when yeast are being all elusive making scientists search for decades like that.
Guess we need a new commercial...
An estimated 5.8 magnitude in Virginia about 10 minutes ago, yeah...

Now we see that the "special relationship" between Argentina and Germany has been established for quite a bit longer than we thought.
Huh, my desk here in central Pa shook a bit a few minutes ago.
shocks felt in Annapolis, MD.
felt it all the way up here in Boston.
pretty gentle here though

no it was not in they NYC region though you might have felt it. and news flash for ya chief, there are other places on the east coast besides nyc.
The picture in the LATimes article appears to show the parasitic fungus Cyttaria darwinii, known locally as llao-llao. I don't believe the growth can be properly called a "gall" unless it consists of tissues of the host tree -- but I believe llao-llaos are fungal tissue, not plant tissue.
so what's the flap all about anyway? where are the monkeys' hymens? deities deny involvement? just more sci-fi horror history unraveling. on to mebotah.
just in time? by 2025 anyway. the new atmostfearink neogod mandated oxygen rationing system will be tested on the totally submerged population living down under southern hillary, in the 3X6 citizen bunkers. the real oxygen supply will not be wasted on the southern hillarians, as they are used to a lot of hot air, & have consented to breath the untested synthetic oxygen, developed in an unproven manner, at a secret location. no problems are expected.
the hillarians still must (they have the new pay-per-flush toilets) believe that the crown royals will be victorious, & that they will be unsubmerged, to join us all, in the former state of utah, come hell or even higher water.
the sociopath weapons peddlers remain 'invisible'. we're still calling this 'weather'? babys keep starving, &/or being murdered daily, as it was profitsized.
truth telling & disarming (weapons, media etc...) are the only spiritually & mathematically correct options left for most of the 'too many' of us 'unchosens'. see you there, after the fatal distraction ends?
Plenty of nazis in Argentina. No wonder they make lagers there, too. Beer macht frei.
Geeks are so full of shit that "beating the crap out of them" takes a whole new meaning.
"June-Fest!"
I like chimichury flank steak better then sourkrout anyway.
When I first read title that's what came to my mind. (Lager == camp)
Ales & stouts for life! The harder it is to see through, the better it is!
It doesn't mean much now, it's built for the future.
Everyone knows that the unknown element in beer yeast is the higs boson otherwise known as the god particle. God really screwed up when he designed the world, the reproductive systems (who puts the entertainment center next to the sewage works) and women. He gave us beer to make up for it. And it does.

You may solo them, I prefer them in a group.
It's only a matter of time now before Dogfish Head releases something fermented with this yeast. I vote for Legacy Lager as a name.
This is sort of similar to the question from a post yesterday about Earth ejecta finding its way to the rest of the Solar System and seeding life. If we discover life on Mars, how do we know where the source is from?
Also, how do we know there wasn't a common ancestor?
Except for ending slavery, the Nazis, communism, & securing American independence, war has never solved anything.
Wow... first response and it's a scored -1 post. Somebody wasted a mod point just to tell people that this was off-topic before its topic existed?
Be my fucking guest.
If this is true, this serves to conclusively prove that Native Americans traded freely with the "New World" for quite some time.
