Your Wild Life Beers
We’re using our understanding of ecology and evolution to identify wild yeasts in our environment and make new beers with them, in collaboration with Dr. John Sheppard (College of Food Sciences) of the NC State Brewery. Our secondary goal is to use these beers to educate the public on the diversity of microbial life and the application of such discoveries.
