more reasons to drink beer!
It's not a "hipster" thing. Dead brewers yeast (which we call yeast hulls and often use for stuck fermentations) is sold at every health food store, added to many of our foods and drinks, and even put into pet food. It's a rich source of vitamin be complex. That's why we encourage folks to not freak out and drink the yeast...It's good for us.
It's been known for centuries, in fact the Belgians worship it for it's health benefits.

ahh, so it is dead brewers yeast. When i read it what came to mind was John Palmers How to Brew "Welcome to the laxative effects of live yeast!"
I have personally experienced this when i tried to early cold crash some cider for a party

Goto any health foods, organic foods stores and you can find jars full of it.

Are you suggesting that homebrewing and smoothie shops are not hipster?
You can't swing a dead cat without hearing something about microbrew this, homebrew that, wheat grass smoothie this, brewer's yeast that...
It's trendy, aka hipster.
Yep, yeast and butt.
I thought this was going to be in reference to the "beestinger," which I read as "beerstinger" at first glance.
Homebrewing predates any current trends. I don't think making a resurgence makes it hip- and considering the average "hipster" talks about microbrews while drinking PBR, I think we can safely discount them.
I'd say the same about the resurgence of using brewer's yeast, an ancient foodstuff, versus using modern commercial vitamin enrichment.
Just because they think it's new and trendy, doesn't mean it's anything but reinventing the wheel.

I am just sidetracked by the girlfriend title and protein drink description...
Maybe dead cats carry some kind of zombie virus, but for hipsters. You should put that thing down.
