Belly button yeast. Yep, you heard it. The brewers at 7 Cent have harvested yeast from their belly buttons and made beer with it. Where that lies between Rogue’s beard yeast beer and that weird vaginal yeast beer announced a while back I’m not sure. That’s probably up for you to decide.

We’ve alluded to this beer on our podcast and in this post here, so it’s great to finally break the news about this 7 Cent beer. The beer has been brewed for the Great Australasian Beer Spectapular here in Melbourne and Sydney in the coming month (sorry NZ, you miss out on this one). The festival is a great introduction for new drinkers to learn about the wonderful world of modern craft beer in a relaxed setting, so it’s going to be interesting to see the reactions of punters when they read the beer list and come across this oddity.

The one crucial fact is that it’s not harvested from all of their belly buttons, that would be ridiculous. Instead they did trial batches from each of the three brewers and decided on the best one. That’s right, they have literally determined which brewer has the belly button yeast with the most character.
