    Sometimes after a night of hard drinking, I’ll end up with a beard hair stuck in my throat. I guess this is just cutting out the middle man. Unfortunately, the middle man is the fun part.

He also wears a pair of basketball shorts tied to his head. He rides my bus and I asked him once why the blue and he said ‘I like it.’ I can’t imagine him not showing up on TV at some point.

    This sounds exceptionally gross. They could have included helpful information in the article like the fact that yeasts are part of the human body’s normal flora, and the fact that they’re not making beer out of the yeast FROM his beard.. they just cultured the strain from the yeast that was in his beard (I assume).

    Although, now that I look at it, that still doesn’t sound much better.

    I actually work with yeast, so I’m thinking of buisness venture where I smear it on several parts of my body and then sell it to other entrepreneuring filthy hipsters. Armpit beer? Sure!

    As a homebrewer and a BIG fan of Rogue Brewing Co., I got a huge kick out of this.
    It’s not surprising, though, that their brew-master had a strain of yeast in his beard that would be great for making beer. In fact, with him in the brewery all the time, I’d be MORE surprised if he didn’t have any!.

    And, for those not familiar with brewing, there is NOTHING that can harm you that will live through the brewing process, so there’s really nothing to worry about.

    I am glad that Brewmaster’s friend, the black Lab, has nothing to do with the new yeast… or has he? HAS HE?

    Well, there goes the market for antifungals. I suggest you sell your stock. It’s time to start growing your toejam and vajoo goo for the artisan yeast-off.

    Do I smell bellybutton beer? It’s only a matter of time (and poor hygiene)!

    Jesus Christ, Portland. Have some standards!

    There’s hipstery, and then there’s downright disgusting ._.

    I have to live here. I don’t want to drink your beard beer.

      He’s actually a very decent guy with very decent standards…and a helluva brewer.
      If you were to have it examined, you would fine MUCH worse strains of wild yeast in your hair, no matter how often you wash it. He has brewing yeast in his beard because *GASP* he happens to work in a brewery where that yeast is in the air.

    pretty reliable rumor (as the wife of an oregon winemaker) has it that more than one oregon winery has had some nice naked ladies do some grape crushing for them for this exact reason – nice biodynamic yeast inoculation!
