When the founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence, the field of biochemistry did not exist, but they nevertheless share a link with a modern-day biochemistry lab in the College of Arts and Sciences at Indiana University Bloomington. In his lab, associate professor of molecular and cellular biochemistry Matthew Bochman uses the same yeast as home brewers George Washington and Thomas Jefferson — brewer’s yeast, or saccharomyces cerevisiae — to study the cellular growth of cancers and other diseases. But that yeast also has a more immediate use. In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence this summer, Bloomington breweries will unveil a beer brewed using wild brewer’s yeast collected by Bochman and his students.

As the world prepares for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, beer giants and beverage brands are pouring billions into what analysts say could become one of the alcohol industry’s biggest marketing moments in years. But beneath the sponsorships and hype, the tournament may also test whether the future of drinking culture is less alcohol, not more. Brewers and spirits companies are investing heavily across the United States, Canada, and Mexico ahead of FIFA’s expanded 48-team World Cup, betting the tournament can help revive growth after years of declining alcohol consumption, particularly among younger consumers.
