Shipwreck Divers Discovered a 162-Year-Old Bottle of Guinness Brewed During the Reign of Queen Victoria—and They Want to Take a Swig

Shipwreck divers discovered a 162-year-old bottle of Guinness brewed during the reign of Queen Victoria. The stout remained preserved within a sealed glass bottle and may currently be safe for sampling. Beyond tasting the beverage, the team intends to sequence the DNA of the yeast. This scientific process aims to accurately recreate the specific flavor profile and characteristics of the stout as it would have tasted during the 19th century for historical research purposes.
