Åland Brewery Revives 170 Year Old Beer

Last year, I told you about Stallhagen Brewery in Finland recreating a beer from a shipwreck in the Baltic Sea.  It's finally been released under the name Stallhagen Historic Beer 1842.

Using the wild yeast from the beer recovered in the wreck, they produced a fruity beer lacking the hop flavor of modern beer. The brewer compared it to wine.

Packaged in 2000 hand blown bottles, this is a limited release.
