It’s a deja drink.
A nearly 70-year-old beer bottle was found inside the wall of a Delaware home — and the person who put it there left a cheeky message for future finders.
The long-defunct green bottle of Gunther’s beer was found by a man conducting a hazardous materials survey of the house, which is over 100 years old.
“I’ve never found anything like it after 17 years and over 3,000 demolition inspections of every type of building or facility you can think of,” the man, who gave his name only as David, told Newsweek.
On the bottle label someone had written: “This bottle was put here by a plumber on 3/25/55” more than 68 years ago.
David said the entire inspection team was surprised by the discovery.
“I thought at first it was a bottle of urine, because I’ve seen that many times throughout my career, drywall workers are notorious for this because they work so hard and don’t get much rest,” he told the outlet.
“As soon as we realized it was an empty beer bottle, we thought it was pretty cool, then we saw the note on it and were blown away,” he said. “We all stopped work to admire it and speculate about its origins, the plumber, and what happened in 1955.
The house, which is in “bad shape” is being demolished to make way for a parking lot, David said.
David posted the bottle and message on Reddit’s r/slightly interesting subreddit, where others shared secrets they too found hidden in walls through homework.
The house where it was found is being demolished to make way for a parking lot. A plumber apparently wrote a note on the bottle before placing it inside the wall in March, 1955.
“I found one in my house while renovating. It’s in the bathroom. There are notes from 1912 when the house was built, one from 1945 when it was renovated—talking a lot about the war and how their son died—one from 1976, and then one from 2014 that I left out. All the same jar,” wrote one redditor.
Gunther’s Brewing Company is based in Baltimore and dates back to before Prohibition, according to Newsweek. The brewery produces 800,000 barrels of beer a year and employs about 600 people.
The company stopped brewing in 1960, when it was bought by Hamm’s Brewing Company, which later became part of Miller Brewing Company.
