Brewery puts the 'ew' in brew with new beard yeast beer (VIDEO)
Oregon's Rogue Ales debuts new beard yeast beer made from the brewmaster's own facial hair.
Most people would be grossed out to find a hair in their beer. But an entire beard?
Rogue Ales in Oregon will soon find out. Its brewmaster is using yeast from his own facial hair to craft a "beard beer" called New Crustacean.

Available in stores next year, the beer came about as something of a joke.
Earlier this summer, brewmaster John Maier sent samples from the brewery's homegrown hops to a lab to see if they could produce a yeast suitable for brewing,LA Weekly reported.
None of them worked. So as a joke, the brewery clipped nine folicles from Maier's beard (which he hasn't shaved since 1978) and sent them in for testing.
