Why one of the world's rarest beers is finally being opened, 150 years on
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"A 150-year-old bottle of Allsopp's Arctic Ale, originally brewed for a pioneering polar expedition, is set to be opened by a Scottish brewer to create a modern version of the historic drink. Dougal Gunn Sharp, founder of Edinburgh-based Innis & Gunn, will pour the rare ale into a new brew. This bottle is one of a handful remaining from Sir George Nares' 1875 North Pole expedition, originally crafted in Burton-upon-Trent for British explorers."
The Independent covers US issues from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech, investigating topics such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet emphasizes the value of on-the-ground reporters, requests donations to keep journalists deployed, and preserves free access to reporting by avoiding paywalls while relying on contributions. Separately, Dougal Gunn Sharp of Innis & Gunn plans to open a 150-year-old bottle of Allsopp's Arctic Ale from Sir George Nares' 1875 North Pole expedition and use it to seed a limited-edition Innis & Gunn 1875 Arctic Ale following the original recipe.
