Beer from Hindenburg

[Redman]

Last week, the New York Post reported that “a charred bottle of beer that survived the explosion of the Hindenburg will be auctioned off this month for an estimated $7,500.” The single bottle of Löwenbräu was recovered from the airship disaster by a New Jersey fireman. Much of its original content has evaporated, and the beer that remains is “probably quite putrid to taste,” according to Andrew Aldridge, of the auction house Henry Aldridge & Sons.

That's interesting. I think I'd rather have one of those bottles of ale from the bottom of the Baltic Sea that they found last year. Don't know if they are for sale or what price either. I used to drink Löwenbräu back in the day but then could really taste the change when they started brewing it in Fort Worth. I moved on.
