Ale from 1886 shipwreck yields new brew and conflict

In this July 17, 2017 photo provided by Jamie Adams, four bottles recovered from the SS Oregon, a 133-year-old shipwreck, are shown at the Saint James Brewery in Holbrook, N.Y. Bill Felter of Serious Brewing in Howes Cave, N.Y., hoped to develop a new brew from ale salvaged from the SS Oregon. But the scuba-diving Long Island brewer, Adams, has scuttled those plans, saying he owns the shipwreck yeast and has used it to produce ale he’s releasing in March 2019. (Jamie Adams via AP)
