As for what’s next from the partnership between Akerboom and Lost Rhino, this summer the second strain Akerboom isolated will be used, and combined with blackberries that were frozen from last August to create a blackberry wheat beer, Garcia said.
Akerboom has begun isolating more strains for new and wilder inventions, many of which he will brew himself from his own garage. Those who wish to follow his developments can read his blog at www.jaapie.org.
Although cultivating wild yeast strains isn’t going to be the future of major brewing companies—a 20 percent success rate doesn’t seem like something in which Anheuser-Busch would be interested—in the world of craft beer, which favors small batches and innovation, the world, more specifically the air, is full of possibilities.
