I’m sure if you’re a beer freak you read the news about the “five bottles of dark, foamy beer” found while divers were salvaging champagne from a19th century shipwreck near Finland’s Aland Islands. The beer is being studied and there are plans to brew the beer. I think we should have a contest to name the beer. Read the story and submit a name below. GO.

  30. Davey Jones Lager takes the cake but if the yeast type is different then it could possibly be a “new type” of beer set apart from lager or ale.
