Hundred-year-old beer found during reconstruction of historic brewery

Three bottles with beer believed to be over a hundred years old were found during a reconstruction of a brewery in the village of Záhlinice in the south Moravian region of Kroměříž. The brewery was closed down in 1926 but experts say the bottles probably date back to between 1900 and 1910, judging by the use of a specific type of stopper. The Research Institute of Brewing and Malting will now open the bottles and analyse their content, hoping to make some new discoveries about the ingredients.
