(AFP) – 9 hours ago
HELSINKI — Divers salvaged the world's oldest drinkable beer from a shipwreck in the Baltic Sea on Thursday, just days after work began to retrieve dozens of bottles of 200-year-old champagne, local officials said.
"We believe these are by far the world's oldest bottles of beer," Rainer Juslin, a spokesman for the local government of Aaland, said in a statement.
The beer bottles were unearthed from a shipwreck believed to be about 200 years old -- as divers were recovering bottles of what is thought to be the world's oldest drinkable champagne, discovered in July.
The enviable haul, found intact on the seabed at a depth of 50 metres (yards), comes from an unidentified wreck which the Aaland authorities believe sank off the coast in the early 1800s.
