The dark glass bottle was one of dozens strewn around the sunken ship when the divers spotted it. The divers plan to go back in two weeks to recover four additional bottles, two for the Verstrepen lab and two for the company, Panis said. It’s unlikely that the lab will be able directly recover original yeast, Verstrepen said, because beer yeast does not have a long lifespan after bottling. In 2014, a different group of researchers recovered a 200-year-old bottle of distilled spirit from a shipwreck off the coast of Poland.
