What I was suggesting is maybe the yeast is from Germany and the Nazis that left brought their yeasts for beer making to Argentina and they got released into the wild.
You know, there already were a lot of germans (amongst many many many others) around here long before those (few, not like hundreds and hundreds...) nazis came along.
Those were the ones getting out through ODESSA; the ones going through Operation Paperclip went to the USA.
That being said, it's a good thing the yeast got out first so we all get to enjoy a nice cold beer instead of that piss-warm stuff the British drink... (-1 flamebait).
Lots of Germans moved to Argentina in the 19th Century to build railroads. They didn't like living in the jungle or on the plains, so they moved to the mountains and Italians came to Argentina to build the railroads.
Maybe the conquistadors brought it WITH them (Score:4, Interesting)
Their best bet is that centuries ago, S. eubayanus somehow found its way to Europe
How do they know it wasn't the other way around? Maybe we Europeans brought it as a gift to our New World brothers.

I think the GP tried a joke with word "Lager" which can mean in German "Camp" like in "Konzentration Lager".
