A team of brewers is working on a project to recreate the world's oldest beer, discovered over 20 years ago onboard a shipwrecked vessel off the coast the Preservation Islands, in southeastern Australia.
The beer, appropriately named The Wreck – Preservation Ale, will go on sale for a limited time only in June.
The Sydney Cove left Calcutta, India, in 1796 for a fledgling penal colony in Sydney, Australia – but before it could reach its final destination, the ship sank.
