+1 to this.

I got a kick out of the first photo that showed the 150 year-old cave but there was still a styrofoam cup in the back ground.

It would have been cool if it had been full of 150 yr old beer.

FIT may be onto something guys. We could start a salvage company like the ones looking for sunken treasure ships but we research old east coast brewery history looking for the beer caves that haven't been discovered yet. :jumpy:

In Weston MO they have restored a beer cave and made it into a brewery and Irish Pub. It goes 5 stories under the ground. When you enter it you enter this tiny shack then just start walking downhill. It is very humid and musty but cool none-the-less.
