## Resource

Scientists at Indiana University are using ancient yeast from a 250-year-old campus oak tree to brew a special beer called “Declaration of Fermentation,” blending cutting-edge cell biology with American history. Led by Dr. Matthew Bochman, the project celebrates the nation’s 250th anniversary by fermenting with yeast that lived through the founding of the country—paired with period-style molasses for flavor. It’s not just a drink, but a living tribute to science, history, and the enduring tradition of beer, now on tap and deliciously available.
