Neal, I think they found your family stash:

Archaeologists discovered the underground pub — once known as the Astley Arms — when they were brought in to inspect the site of a future skyscraper. During the excavation, they found pottery belonging to Thomas Evans, who was the landlord of Astley Arms in 1821. "It's brilliant because you can suddenly connect it to the local people in the area. We looked online about [Evans'] family history and one of his descendants now lives in Texas," said the site's archeological supervisor, Aidan Turner.

A fake news. No archeologist of a sane mind would report a stockpile of consumable old brandy.

If he owned it in 1821, that would make it the 19th century.

Yeah, I am just that type of guy.

Perhaps his mind was fogged from the consumption of said brandy...

It's not a fake news not exactly, the only thing I could imagine being fake is the date of the findings.

Today the Archaeologists use to hide or keep silence about their findings to prevent from being destroyed by "forgot the word I had on my tongue"
