Lager brewing, which first appeared in the 13th century in Bavaria, uses a different species of yeast, Saccharomyces pastorianus. This is a hybrid of two parents, only one of which is S. cerevisiae.

Genetic sequencing in the 1980s led researchers to discover that this lager-producing yeast has two ancestral species: S. cerevisiae and Saccharomyces eubayanus.The latter was first detected in ...
