| ____________________________________ [Sep 3,2010 10:47am - arilliusbm ""] Funny, I was going to make a thread this morning called "in b4 yeti or skinsandwich post a link to the beer article on CNN" but didn't. |

| _________________________________________________ [Sep 3,2010 11:33am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] Is this where the band SHIPWRECK got their name? |
| __________________________________________ [Sep 3,2010 11:34am - largefreakatzero ""] The article was babbling about how much these are worth, and how well-preserved they are, but didn't mention if anyone was going to try to drink it. Who is going to be the guinea pig for that shite? |
| ___________________________________________ [Sep 3,2010 11:40am - FuckIsMySignature ""] probably skunked |
| __________________________________________ [Sep 3,2010 11:43am - largefreakatzero ""] The first sip will instantly turn you into a pirate. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 3,2010 11:47am - ouchdrummer ""] i'd drink it. |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 3,2010 11:53am - arilliusbm ""] "After a thorough search of the surrounding area, the divers found another box of beer. On the right side of the box, someone had etched the name "DWYER" in capital letters. The divers were stunned at this discovery." WTF? |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 3,2010 11:57am - narkybark ""] it's probably an empty that some pirate pissed into. |

| ____________________________________ [Sep 4,2010 11:56am - immortal13 ""] I can assure you it's not the world's oldest beer. Beer dates back as far as the Sumerians who created a beer called Ninkasi, which was an unhopped, honey sweetened ale. It's probably still some good shit though. |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 4,2010 11:58am - immortal13 ""] It's more accurate in the article itself where it says the oldest bottles of beer, and the oldest still drinkable beer. |

| ____________________________________ [Sep 4,2010 12:01pm - arilliusbm ""] Oldest active beer that's been chilled. They've found eveidence of beer in Sumeria and Egypt but it was not chilled and wasn't drinkable. |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 4,2010 12:21pm - immortal13 ""] It was drinkable. There was some guy back in 89 or whatever, can't remember the name, but he recreated one of the first Sumerian beers after archaelogists found old recipes, and I guess it actually came out real good. It was that ninkasi recipe. |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 4,2010 12:24pm - arilliusbm ""] So they recreated it using the old recipe? That's different than finding a beer that was brewed 200 years ago, that's chilled and still in the bottle. |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 4,2010 12:25pm - immortal13 ""] It is different, but still pretty cool in my opinion. I would have loved to try both either way. |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 4,2010 12:31pm - arilliusbm ""] Any ancient recipe/brew for any type of food is usually recreated with what they know. Fascinating; ancient culinary ftw |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 4,2010 12:34pm - immortal13 ""] FTW indeed man |
