(AP) —A bottle of beer that was retrieved from a shipwreck in the Åland archipelago in the summer of 2010, is photographed at the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland in Espoo, Finland, Tuesday Feb. 8, 2011.
Divers retrieved more than 160 bottles of champagne and five bottles of beer from the wreck of a ship that likely sank during the first half of 1800s. The beer in question is one of the world’s oldest preserved beers, and VTT is to study the contents of the bottle to determine what kind of a recipe was used in the brewing of the beer and what kind of yeast caused the fermentation process.(AP Photo/Antti Aimo-Koivisto, Lehtukuva)
