Guinness found on 162-year-old shipwreck inspires divers with ‘Project Jurassic Beer’

Divers discovered up to 20 bottles of 162-year-old Guinness on the wreck of the Mindora, a 19th-century sailing barque that sank off the coast of Dover in 1864. The bottles were found preserved under extreme conditions, including constant cold, pressure, and darkness. The divers, led by Stefan Panis and Paweł Truszynski, launched 'Project Jurassic Beer' to attempt to re-create the original recipe using modern scientific methods, including collaboration with microbiologist Kevin Verstrepen. They are working with the Guinness Archive team at Diageo Ireland to verify the find and explore the possibility of recreating the beer's original taste. While the Lloyd’s Register Foundation could not officially confirm the site due to lack of coordination, digitized records suggest the ship may have been named 'Mindoro' rather than 'Mindora.'

Bias read (Center): The article presents a factual account of a historical archaeological discovery and the efforts to scientifically recreate a historic beverage. It does not take a clear ideological stance, nor does it emphasize any particular political agenda. The focus remains on the scientific and cultural aspects
