One of the gainers in the beer value chain is the producers of yeast, a microorganism that is essential for the fermentation process to manufacture ethanol, which makes a beverage alcoholic. However, the prosperity of the global yeast market is not solely dependent on the continued demand for beer, as some types the microorganism that has nearly 1,500 species are used at some stage of production of several other alcoholic beverages including wine, mead, and distilled spirits such as whiskey, rum, brandy, and vodka.
