In Episode 164 we dive into learning about a newer yeast to show up in American beers, the kveik yeast. We review the work of blogger Lars Garshol to find out about the history of the yeast and how he collected various yeast samples from around Norway in order to have it studied, analyzed and eventually commercialized here in the states.
