The United States is currently experiencing a beer making movement. Many beer drinkers these days are no longer happy with mainstream beer sold in every store, on every street. They want something different, something unusual. To satisfy this taste for strange beer, many small, or micro, brewers are trying anything they can to stand out from the crowd, to be different. Some are even making their beer with ingredients that are old, really, really old. Like 35 million years old. A brewery, a place that makes beer, in the Washington D.C. area has joined with a couple of scientists to make a beer with a most unusual ingredient. The beer is made using bacteria from a 35 million year old bone. That bacteria, to be exact, is called yeast. Lost Rhino Brewing Company in Ashburn, Virginia is the company making this new, very unusual beer. This beer is the brainchild of Jason Osborne. Jason is a non-professional, or amateur, paleontologist. For fun, he explores old bones, or fossils, in his free time. He was exploring a swamp in the U.S. state of Virginia when he found a 35 million year old fossilized whale bone. And that’s when his brainchild was born.
