A group of Victorian brewers have come up with a navel way of making beer, growing a yeast strain from their own belly button fluff and savouring the results.
While the idea of Belly Button Beer may be stomach-turning for some, 7 Cent Brewery co-founder Doug Bremner said the yeast strains were carefully studied and grown to ensure they were sterile.
"It's perfectly safe. Yeast is yeast – this beer is no different to any other beer out there," Mr Bremner told 9news.com.au.
The friends tested the first batch themselves.
"We weren't really sure if we were going to see it work and we were really stoked that it actually did work," he said.
