The Hindenburg passenger airship crash was a disaster – but from its ashes rose a beer miracle. It seems that scorched, unopened beer from the Lowenbray brewery survived the plane crash and is going up for auction.

The legend goes that fireman Leroy Smith found a six pack at the 1937 crash site. A selfless man, he gave away five bottles and kept one for himself.

The beer will be up for auction alongside other Hinderburg memorabilia on 27 November at England’s Wallis & Wallis. But you better have deep pockets – it’s estimated that the epic beer will go for R98,416.
