World's oldest surviving beer recreated


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

A beer trapped at the bottom of the sea for nearly two centuries is being recreated by Australian brewers.

Described as a port-house ale with 'hints of blackcurrant and spices', the ale plummeted to the sea floor during a shipwreck in 1797.

Scientists are now working to revive the 220-year old drink, described as the world's oldest surviving beer, using yeast found in the ageing bottles.

The ale has been named 'The Wreck - Preservation Ale', and will go on sale later this month.
