Divers report finding a 162-year-old Guinness bottle on the seabed off the UK coast, according to two outlets. The bottle is described as having spent more than a century at the bottom of the English Channel after being lost in a shipwreck. Researchers now plan to retrieve and analyze the bottle’s remaining yeast, with the goal of recreating the beer’s historic characteristics and flavor profile. The effort focuses on whether viable yeast can be recovered after long-term storage underwater and then used in brewing to approximate the original beer. While both reports emphasize the discovery’s age and the planned scientific work, neither provides additional details about the specific shipwreck site, the condition of the bottle, or confirmed results from any laboratory tests. The project is presented as research-driven, using preserved biological material to better understand historical brewing practices and potential changes over time. Researchers hope their findings will inform attempts to replicate the beer style from that period.
