Yeast Found In 1886 Shipwreck Turned Into Beer

Author Angie Krueger
MAISACH, GERMANY - APRIL 22: Empty beer bottles are seen in a filling station at the Maisacher brewery, on April 22, 2008 in Maisach near Munich, Germany. Beer is regarded as the Germans favourite drink and Germany has the densest breweries net worldwide from globally acting concerns to familiy companies. The Maisach brewery is one the smallest breweries around the Munich area but with a very good reputation for producing beer with natural and high quality ingredients.
Beer lovers are finally able to try a recreated brew that dates back two centuries thanks to a find off the coast of Long Island, New York.
.
Saint James Brewery owner Jamie Adams, a diving enthusiast, discovered the SS Oregon on the ocean floor near Fire Island. Sending a team of divers down, they retrieved bottles of beer with the corks in tact from the shipwreck.
.
Adams spent two years extracting the yeast and getting the taste just right to create his new Deep Ascent ale, which he debuted at a craft beer festival last weekend.
.
Saying it has a slightly fruity taste with a hoppy finish, Adams feels his beer is a “replication of what would have been served on that ship in 1886.”
