Swab the Chair

#SomeYeastIsTooWild

A British brewery 40FT is trying to one-up Rogue Ales and their Beard Beer (which I am still a little wary of).

Apparently the author, Roald Dahl is almost as famous the chair that Roald Dahl the author wrote from. So much so that someone went all science-y and swabbed up some wild yeast from said chair (perhaps while also scavenging for spare change) to use in making a beer to celebrate the 100th birthday of the BFG himself.

Probably won’t skip the pond to us and for that I am thankful.
