It will still be some time before I brew. But I start to think about GMO yeast that can produce some fluorescent color. It would be cool to have some hazy beer under blue light...

Certainly not legal in EU but I think that it can be done pretty easily.

while not exactly what you're asking for, I did some rice wine with red yeast rice once and it had some fluorescence. Normally clear red, there was a nice green shade to it in direct sunlight.

I was re-watching few of the Thought Emporium videos and got the urge to do it. He made GMO yeast for making bread ("golden bread"). And as one genecist told in interview I listened to long time ago - Most of the GMO techniques are so simple that you can do them in kitchen.

So picking strain of yeast that doesn't drop out easily from the beer, commercially available DNA marker and mush them together.

Maybe you could incorporate quinine somehow? It's fluorescent enough for a G&T to glow noticeably under the right lighting
