Do you count being in Davy Jones's locker cellaring?

I'd call anything stored at cool to cold temperatures for extended periods of time cellaring. :laugh

It's gotta taste better then the 2000 year old roman fish sauce they found in a shipwreck recently.

Here's a bit about the brewery.

Keith made a name for himself as a brewer of strong ales and porter, as well as conventional ginger and spruce beers.....

In 1853 Keith's only son Donald became a full partner in the firm and the brewery name was changed to Alex Keith & Son.

.....brewing his famous India Pale Ale was his first love.....

Yeah, I'd try it. Just for the cool factor.
