The treasure inside beer lost in a shipwreck 120 years ago

Long-forgotten yeast strains are being sought out from shipwrecks, abandoned breweries and other locations in the hope they could be put to good use if resurrected.

Maybe it is all sales appeal, in the mind of those who own breweries. I'm sure a different strain of yeast, probably could alter taste a slight bit. Not a beer expert so, don't really know answer to that one. But knowing, it originated from a bottle on a shipwreck of antiquity, it definitely is a strain over 100 years old. If you could get a bottle from a pirate ship, rightfully can be labeled as "Pirate Brew" and all pirates would drink it.
