This document summarizes a project called BeerDecoded that explored the metagenome of beer through citizen science. The project involved extracting DNA from 39 beers, sequencing the DNA, and making the results openly accessible online. The goals were to increase knowledge about the DNA content of beers and popularize molecular biology techniques through workshops. Future plans include further sequencing and developing a beer knowledge database.
