A beer made from whale fossils. I kid you not. http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/20...venge-brewing-beer-from-an-ancient-whale-bone
Dogfish Head did something like this too, didn't they? The yeast found on ancient whale bones isn't going to be ancient itself, it's just going to be modern yeast in a unique environment. Still might be interesting to try, but this isn't whale beer until Hill Farmstead brews it and only makes 200 bottles.
Don't forget the 5th ingredient (alcohol ). The Buckler I'm drinking at the moment isn't making me too happy.
As a homebrewer this would be a fun experiment if you are into capturing yeast and all that jazz. As a beer drinker I'll buy it if it tastes good.
The "5th" ingredient is created by the first four ingredients (actually, only the yeast and malt and water). Adding alcohol to a beer would be seriously gross brah, like gag me with a silver spoon gross. Unless it's bourbon, of course
Dogfish Head has an entire lineup of beers based upon the work of archaeologist Patrick McGovern of University of Pennsylvania, who is doing some seriously interesting stuff. I got to attend a lecture about his work last year (with a tasting at the end ).
I was just kidding about "alcohol" being an ingredient. I am getting the impression that people have read your (accidentally misleading?) original post and/or just the title of the article. This beer was not brewed with bone.
