“…Artisanal and domestic beer brewing most likely 79 started during that period (Moussette 1992). Later in the 17th Century, the first industrial 80 brewery was founded by the French King representative, the Intendant Jean Talon 81 (Moussette 1996). To establish his brewery, Talon acquired a relatively large lot, at the crossing of St. 84 Charles and St. Lawrence rivers in Québec City, and built a massive 40 meters long 85 building with modern brewing equipment (Moussette 1994).…”

The genome sequences of archeological yeast isolates can reveal insights about the history of human baking, brewing and winemaking activities and migration around the globe. A yeast strain called Jean-Talon was recently isolated from the vaults of the Intendant’s Palace of Nouvelle France on a historical site in Québec City. This site has been occupied by various breweries, starting from the end of the 17th century and until the middle of the 20th century. We sequenced the genome of the Jean-Talon strain with short and long reads and reanalyzed the genomes of hundreds of yeast strains to identify its species of origin and determine how it relates to other domesticated and wild strains. The Jean-Talon strain is a tetraploid strain with numerous aneuploidies, is partially sterile and most closely related to beer strains from the beer and bakery genetic groups and industrial strains from the United Kingdom and Belgium. We conclude from this that the Jean-Talon strain most likely derives from recent brewing activities that took place in the same location and not from wild yeast that could have been domesticated by the original brewers of the Nouvelle France on the site.

The genome sequences of archeological Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolates can reveal insights about the history of human baking, brewing and winemaking activities. A yeast strain called Jean-Talon was recently isolated from the vaults of the Intendant's Palace of Nouvelle France on a historical site in Québec City. This site was occupied by breweries from the end of the 17th century until the middle of the 20th century when poisoning caused by cobalt added to the beer led to a shutdown of brewing activities. We sequenced the genome of the Jean-Talon strain and reanalyzed the genomes of hundreds of strains to determine how it relates to other domesticated and wild strains. The Jean-Talon strain is most closely related to industrial beer strains from the beer and bakery genetic groups from the United Kingdom and Belgium. It has numerous aneuploidies and Copy Number Variants (CNVs), including the main gene conferring cobalt resistance in yeast. The Jean-Talon strain has indeed higher tolerance to cobalt compared to other yeast strains, consistent with adaptation to the most recent brewing activities on the site. We conclude from this that the Jean-Talon strain most likely derives from recent brewing activities and not from the original breweries of Nouvelle France on the site.
