A beer barrel that disappeared 50 years ago was found in the Alps and drunk almost immediately. 0 percent conviction. A strange incident took place on the border of Austria and South Tyrol. A beer barrel, which was lost in the 1970s, came to the surface at an altitude of about 3000 meters. This was announced by the Arfaf beverage manufacturer.
The story goes like this: while being delivered by helicopter, the container fell into a ravine and lay underground for decades. Recently, the company's employee Daniel discovered it under the Sasso Nero shelter. The barrel was carefully removed, with a trailer - the operation was no less extraordinary than the find itself. The metal was slightly wrinkled, but the container remained familiar.
The most interesting thing, as KP writes, started with the opening of the barrel. The metal still has the date 1978 engraved on it. A small group of enthusiasts gathered at Harpf headquarters to sample the content. The company's verdict: the beer is still drinkable. The ice did its thing.
