It gives a whole new meaning to "belly up to the bar."

To offset the taste of belly buttons, the brewers also added some flavours such as orange zest and coriander, along with a lot of hops. The final result is a Belgian-ish Witbier with a very personalised twist to keep things interesting. -- Beer made from belly button fluff has a bit of the brewer in every glass
Imagine that, you can culture brewer's yeast from beer brewers' skin.

yeah a belly button is basically an ancient wound
the terroir of belly button lint (excuse me, "fluff?" don't try to pretty this up, awful brewers) yeast is birth trauma, rent flesh, entrapment in the cycles of life and death. I would never drink belly button beer but I would maybe drink vagina beer if I was already drunk

No orris root, but I'm sure I ingested a sufficient quantity of juniper berries (and greenery) while power trimming today. Also dandelion, thistle, and overgrown hop vines. So botanical.

ITS sequencing or gtfo
(My instinct is that this is probably just normal S. cerevisiae hanging out on someone's body or some surface in their lab, and not like, an active part of someone's skin flora... iirc the normal fungal skin microbiota are mostly Malassezia, Aspergillus, and Candida, none of which you can really brew with. Could be wrong tho!)

Guys literally every surface has some sort of yeast on it. You can swab literally anything, culture the yeast there, and throw it into some sweet sweet sugary malt and it will multiply. It's what yeast does.
