What defines a clone beer? Cloning is a exact copy of a cell, how can we clone a beer? I apologise for the stupid question but I am honestly interested as to why its called a clone beer. :huh:
 
us lay people not trained in the science of cellular biology use the word clone to mean "a copy or imitation of something which already exists."
