Hmm. Two of my absolute favorite subjects...

I can see yeast inducing bacteria into a septic tank and even a pond,

cooked and is probably expended and not capable of doing the things
yeast normally does

If you are drinking large scale, commercially-bottled beer, it's
pasteurized. You're guaranteed that it is dead as a doornail, and just as
tasty.

However, if you're drinking _real_ beer (come on by some time, ponders, and
I'll offer you one) that yeast has never been cooked and only wants a
little something sweet to feed on to perk right back up.

Unfortunately for the yeast, there isn't much in your average pond to appeal
to it (it does need ammonia, though - so it could do some good).
