The history of the yeast literally dates back before the dawn of man, to a time when the earth was warm, tropical and teeming with life. Modern mammals that we see today were beginning to appear in what is known as the Eocene epoch (from the Greek word eos meaning “dawn”). During this time, a snapshot of biological life was trapped by tropical tree sap. Over the course of millions of years, the sap hardened into amber, which preserved and protected its contents. That is, until Dr. Cano, using amber obtained from locations around the world (including Burma, Central and North America), isolated and revived a bacterium, which had lain dormant in the gut of an encased bee for approximately 40 million years (Science 268, pp. 1060-1064, 1995). During his research, Dr. Cano, periodically working with Mr. Lambert, isolated a few yeast strains that resembled modern Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In other words, they are similar to the yeast we use every day for brewing and baking, except the newly discovered yeasts were much further back in the evolutionary chain. Essentially, Dr. Cano isolated the long lost ancestors of modern brewing yeast.
Through chance and circumstance, a small group of people teamed up to form Fossil Fuels Brewing Co., which is utilizing the unique yeast strains to brew exceptional beer. Although not widely publicized, last summer a select few northern Californians had the opportunity to try some of the pilot brews and they raved about new (old?) pale ale. Jay R. Brooks, the tasting director of the exalted Celebrator Beer News Magazine commented when comparing the Fossil Fuels brew to an identical pale ale differing only in the strain of yeast (Celebrator, October/November 2006, pp:27-29):
“[Fossil Fuels] is smoother, with softer fruity flavor characteristics and just a touch of lemony sweetness that isn’t tart...It has a more complex and well-developed taste profile, and its smoothness makes it great. The fact it is made with such old yeast is fascinating, and given how good the beer is, no mere novelty.”

no no no, the yeasts we normally use to brew took 45 million years+ to end up like that, this yeast has been trapped in a bee that was trapped in amber for 45 million years. It's like unevolved, dinosaur yeast.

LOL that's even worse
I mean, did they like clone the yeast > ?
how do they guarantee supply? since I imagine, shit trapped in bees trapped in ambers trapped for 45 milion years are not plentiful 
fucking Jurassic Park, and now some good for nothing slacker will STILL put it in a beer cap and STILL drink it during the next football game and STILL piss it in a day like "OMG YEAH!".
no respect, yet all in the name of consumerism LOL what a waste
on a sidenote, I hear its almost as old as Warpe? Warpe can vouch for its authenticity.
BOOOOOM!

in all seriousness though, how are they gonna guarantee supply?
i mean it has to be somehow cloned. does that not raise like a myriad of health and ethical concerns? Like in the EU for instance, they recently banned all cloned foods and derivatives.
Also on the main article it is stated that the mad doctor "succesfully isolated and revived select bacteria". According to google I have found a page containing info on this, but it won't load (at least not for me).
Sorry that maybe i'm overthinking this one but for whatever reason I'm highly skeptical of this one, sounds a bit too much like an episode of Fringe to me.
I guess I'll be sticking to lovely Belgian brews in the future.

Give yeast food (sugar) and they grow and divide. There will be an endless supply.
Give me one bottle of Sierra Nevada, which is bottle-conditioned so it has a little bit of dormant yeast at the bottom, and I can brew an infinite amount of beer.
