Here for the beer

Britain's first bottled beer museum has opened in Ipswich, Suffolk, with more than 1,800 bottles of commemorative ale. The oldest was brewed in 1902 and the most valuable was made by Jennings of Cockermouth for the coronation in 1953. The bottle of Coronation Ale, now worth up to pounds 100, would have cost around a halfpenny when it was brewed.
