+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.

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.
