By that argument, there is no wheat in bread either. And there are no insects in cookies made from crickets.
And live yeast in beer is more common than you think.

Live yeast in beer? mmm Only had one Belgian one - not worth the expense if you ask me. No idea what percentages are - just talking from
experience (and partly out my @**e)

What about Marmite?

Originally posted by wolfgang59No, I do not know. I don't drink beer and don't know a whole lot about it. However this thread made me look up live yeast in beer and it appears canned beer is pasteurized, but bottled or bar beer is often not, or has yeast removed then later added back in.
I was referring to bottle-conditioned beer - as I'm sure you well know!

Originally posted by twhiteheadI was unaware of yeast being added back in. Any links?

You said beer, as in all beer, as you well know. Why not simply admit you are wrong?
Here is my post;
There is no yeast in the vast majority of beers (the exception being
bottle-fermented speciality beers). In traditional brewing the yeast
is removed after fermentation - in fact the "old-fashioned" method
was to recover the yeast and re-use it for the next brew.
If I'm wrong as twhitehead says then so be it.
But I NEVER said ALL beers since I was aware of (what I thought was) a small section of the market - bottle-fermented beers.

Originally posted by wolfgang59The exception is not simply those beers, there is also yeast in home brewed and in businesses that brew their own beer. You might want to look into wine for yeast too.

In any case, there is yeast in most wines too. You simply want to argue for the sake of arguing. The fact is that many people already consume yeast, in other words fungus.
