Rogue Ales Beard Beer is an American wild ale brewed by Rogue Ales of Newport, Oregon using wild yeast originally cultured from nine beard hairs belonging to Rogue Ales' brewmaster, John Maier.〔〔〔〔 Following media coverage in 2012,〔〔〔〔 the beer went on sale on April 1, 2013.〔 When reporting on the introduction of the beer in 2013, ''The Oregonian'' newspaper originally stated that the ''Huffington Post'' had been taken in by an April Fools' Day joke, but the ''Oregonian'' writer was contacted by a Rogue employee, and reported a few days later that it was not a joke.〔〔 During development, the beer's working name was ''New Crustacean''.〔〔〔 ==New yeast strain== Rogue set out to find a local wild yeast to complement the locally sourced hops and grains used in their other ales, to "increase the terroir" of the finished product.〔〔 Unsuitable samples were taken from various places, including the company's hopyard in Independence, Oregon, before the brewmaster's beard was tried.〔 Isolating and cultivating a new wild yeast or strain of bacteria can be difficult, resulting in "rediscovery" of already utilized organisms.〔 Analysis of the yeast cultivated from Maier's beard showed that it was a new strain, perhaps a hybrid incorporating genes from Rogue's house yeast called "Pacman".〔〔〔 Beverages produced with local American native yeast are collectively known as the American wild ale style, of which Beard Beer is an example.〔 Other American breweries have been successful in developing lines of brewer's yeast from a number of local wild sources, including Dogfish Head Brewery (cultivated from skins of Delaware peaches), Lost Rhino Brewing (captured at Janelia Farm)〔〔 Mystic Brewing (Massachusetts plums),〔 and Linden Street Brewery (cultivated from San Francisco sourdough).〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rogue Beard Beer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
