Research from UCC and German university suggests lager yeast may have come about by chance
In the mid-1500s a German nobleman was granted a dispensation allowing him to brew wheat beer in Bavaria. However, years later when his grandson died without an heir, the family’s property was seized by the Duke of Bavaria.
The new research from UCC and Technical University of Munich said the two types of beer were brewed “side by side” for several years. The result was a new strain of yeast that is responsible for the common lager beer seen today, he said.
