Food (and Beverage) for Thought

In the mood for a taste of history? You may soon be able to get just that, literally! Last July, divers uncovered over 100 champagne bottles from a Baltic Sea shipwreck dated sometime between 1800-1830. However, a surprise was contained in five of those bottles: the world's oldest drinkable beer.


A research center in Finland is now on the case to get to the bottom of the sunken beer's recipe, making the possibility for modern imbibers to get a replicated taste of the 200-year-old brew a reality.


So the next time you're thirsting for some shipwreck adventure, keep an eye out for this well-aged ale!
