Cellared for... 75 years.

[chumprock]

A stock of ale brewed 75 years ago to celebrate the coronation of Edward VIII, but never released for sale because of his abdication, has been discovered in a bricked-up cellar.

I'd take a bottle..

If it were me, I'd let it mellow out and condition a bit before drinking. If you build an adequate pipeline you get better beer, right? J/K

I see it's 12%. I bet it's mighty tasty if it wasn't completely oxidized.

I would give it a try!

That's crazy! The brewer in the article says it's not bad.

Got my tasting beat by 30 year.

I figured I'd never get to beat Mrbowenz with his Alshopps...but now this.

I like how you can see some of the bottles with the corks popped off in the cellar. I wonder if anyone is going to try and harvest yeast from these bottles.

Kinda cool to think that this beer was made pre-WWII. There was a storm-a-brewin in Europe as well.

amazing! i'd love to try some of that

I can't even get a batch to last 75 days.

I wonder what they are going to do with it? Sell it? Give it to some "Select Few?" If they sell it, I wonder what a bottle would go for......

This makes me want to lock my beer in a cellar, or a cement time capsule, or similar. Something that someone can find in 100 years and be like "wow, that guy made some good beer... I wonder about him.." I was going to say 70 years, but I hope to still be alive 70 years from now!

You never know, could be the only way to leave a lasting impression on this Earth.

Chances of us, regular joe-shmos are slim to none.
