Posted today, huh? Cool story.

Did you know Merriam-Webster is removing the word gullible from the dictionary?

So there may be some truth in it.

I know Jasper, the PhD Microbiologist in the article, personally; He's in my homebrew club, and he's a member of this forum.

This is 100% accurate, and not an April Fool's day hoax, but I didn't know that Lost Rhino would be releasing it soon, however.

Are they leaving the word "sceptic" in?

Pretty cool story, usually beers like this with strangely sourced yeast are interesting to say the least. I'd give it a try if I could.

Sounds good. I'd like to try it.
