A brewer plans to open up a 150-year-old bottle of beer, made for an Arctic expedition, so a modern version can be created. The original Allsopp's Arctic Ale was bottled for Sir George Nares, when he set out to reach the North Pole in 1875. It was later discovered in a box in a garage in Gobowen and sold at auction for 拢3,300 in 2015.The buyer was Dougal Gunn Sharp, founder and master brewer at Innis & Gunn, and he now plans to use the ale to seed a new limited-edition beer. Dougal said, "some people might think it's madness to open it, but I think the real madness would be to leave it sitting on a shelf.
