Interesting yarn about the recent rediscovery of long forgotten lagering caves used by a now defunct brewery based in New York
"... in the South Bronx, less than two miles from Yankee Stadium, a network of old beer caves that had stood silent for generations. "

Extract from news story...
"A century ago, when German, not Spanish, was the second language of the Bronx, the Ebling Brewing Company chilled its beer in a series of caves built into a hill behind its headquarters in Melrose. Ebling bottles and cans boasted that the beer was "aged in natural rock caves," a traditional method of making lager, and Ebling was one of the more popular beers in a city where local breweries were once nearly as common as Starbucks shops are today."
