For those that listen to public radio, Science Friday will have a segment on The Evolution of Beer! Link

In new research published this week in the journal Genome Research, scientists examined the genetic sequences of 17 unique lager yeast strains from breweries in Europe and North America, tracing variations in the genetic code of those yeasts back through time. The researchers found that a key hybridization step, in which genetic information from two different yeasts combined and rearranged to yield a new 'lager yeast' organism, may have actually happened twice.
Thanks for posting this, I'll have to pick up the podcast as well. I also hope that they don't dumb it down as much as they did the last show on brewing.
I just got into the program late....is it a good program? Is it worth listening to the whole thing? All I've heard so far is a couple questions and the guest saying he drinks ales...
Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured.
