Scientists Have Discovered The Ancestor Of The Yeast Species Necessary For The Production Of Lager Beer - In Ireland

Scientists have discovered the ancestor of the yeast species necessary for the production of lager beer - in Ireland. 
Saccharomyces eubayanus is a little-known species of yeast that gave birth to the yeast used today to brew lager, Saccharomyces pastorianus.
S.
eubayanus was first found in the Patagonian Andes back in 2011, but experts have found it for the first time in the European wild, www.cruisewhat.com in Dublin woodland. 
They now want to create a new beer using the rare 'mother' yeast S. eubayanus, which could create new flavour profiles never before tasted. 
A species of yeast called S.

eubayanus was first found in the Patagonian Andes back in 2011, but Irish experts have found it for the first time in the European wild, in Dublin woodland (left). The species (B) grows poorly at temperatures of 86°F (30°C) or higher and grow well at cooler temperatures (e.g.
55°F or 13°C), unlike ale yeast S. cerevisiae
