THERE’S nothing like a cleansing beer on board after a day of shore excursions – and a group of Aussie scientists is hoping to resurrect the same taste experienced by sailors more than 200 years ago.
They’re using a brew discovered 20 years ago aboard a shipwrecked vessel off the coast of the Preservation Islands.
The Sydney Cove was en route to Australia in 1796 when it foundered, with the wreck discovered by a team of amateur divers in the early 1990s.
Items on board included more than 30,000 litres of booze, along with some yeast which the researchers are culturing to produce the limited edition “The Wreck – Preservation Ale” which will go on sale next month – see cruiseweekly.com.au/videos.
