Why would DNA help with the recipe? DNA from the yeast? I doubt it’s preserved. Even if it is, that’s not a recipe. The genetic code doesn’t tell you how long they boiled the mash.
Edit: Metaphorical DNA, not literal.
Edit: Maybe they’d find some rat DNA, validating the myth that Guinness’ signature taste was from rats that fell into the fermentation chambers. A story immortalized in the Dropkick Murphys song “good rats”

Guinness original is an gigantic ancient living organism living deep in the primordial caves under Dublin. After over 300 years of draining it for its juices it’s withered away to a shallow husk of its former self, begging for the seeet release of death its immortal form will not grant it. Hopefully this dna of it before the mass extractions began will rejuvenate it so we can continue to tap it’s delicious spoils for generations to come.
