A nice write-up about a recent discovery concerning Lager yeast--where the yeast came from and how they were utilized. The story also includes a link within to the actual scientific publication, for those a little more nerdy.

Interesting. It'd be interesting to pick some of those galls & dry them out then brew a batch with'em. Might be cool to see the difference between the original & today's mutations.
