A barrel of beer was found in the Italian Tyrol after 50 years: the taste was ‘impeccable’

Brewer Daniel Oberlehner from South Tyrol in Italy lost a barrel of beer 46 years ago. It fell into a crevasse in a glacier, and he was unable to retrieve it. Due to a storm in 2025, it was washed to the surface; the date 1978 was marked on the barrel.

a barrel of beer in Tyrol

‘Once the barrel had been found, it had to be brought down. Oberlechner used a handcart for this. The barrel weighed 40 kg, and the terrain and the Alpine glacier made this manoeuvre difficult. Nevertheless, he managed to bring it back down to the valley without damaging it,” RBC-Wine quotes the French publication *La Revue Du Vin De France* as saying.

As the publication explains, the beer was opened in the presence of family and colleagues. The first to taste it was the owner of the ‘Oberlechner’ brewery, a beer connoisseur. He stated that the beer’s flavour was ‘impeccable’. This was due to the storage conditions. In the crevice where the cask had been lying, the temperature remained constant at 0 °C, which prevented the beer from spoiling.
