Once upon a time, a caveman stumbled upon a pool of bubbling barley. He tasted it, smiled, and began writing the story of beer. My next guest has spent his career contributing to the story of yeast and humankind. In this episode, he takes us deeper to explain the serendipitous story of these tiny microbes.
Yeast is often shrouded by mystery due to its technical nature. But it has been our partner to create the food and drink we love for millennia. I hope, after listening to this episode, you will truly appreciate what this little microbe contributes to our daily life. Please check out the resources at White Labs to learn more.
