Brewer's yeast, which is often called nutritional yeast, was originally a by-product of the brewing of beer. Brewer's yeast is nutritionally the same as Nutritional yeast, but, as a by-product of beer-brewing, it has a characteristic bitter hops flavor. Nutritional yeast, the same yeast, is grown on mineral enriched molasses instead of hops, and more often used as a food supplement, because it tastes better. At the end of the Nutritional yeast growth period, the culture is pasteurized to kill the yeast. This retains the nutrients, but deactivates the live yeast (i.e. baking yeast) as a food supplement because the live yeast continues to grow in the intestine and actually uses up the vitamin B in the body instead of replenishing the supply.
