First there was the discovery of dozens of bottles of 200-year-old Champagne, but now salvage divers have recovered what they believe to be the world's oldest beer, taking advertisers' notion of 'drinkability' to another level. Though the effort to lift the reserve of Champagne had just ended, researchers uncovered a small collection of bottled beer on Wednesday from the same shipwreck south of the autonomous Aland Islands in the Baltic Sea. "It seems that we have not only salvaged the oldest Champagne in the world, but also the oldest still drinkable beer. The culture in the beer is still living."

*belch* tHiS StuFf IS AwSomE !!!
mmmmmmmm beer
I'd drink it. But they'll probably lift it, test it to make sure it's not toxic to humans, then sell it for $5000 a bottle. To expensive for my tastes.
If this proves to be everything that minister says it is, you'd probably be lucky to get a glass of this stuff for $5000. For a bottle, you'd probably want to tack on an extra zero at the end, bare minimum.
One thing I'll add: I'm just saying $50,000 would be a floor. I could easily see this stuff being sold at an auction for hundreds of thousands of dollars for each bottle, assuming it doesn't go into some sort of museum.
