THE OFFICIAL BEER OF OUTER SPACE

THE OFFICIAL BEER OF OUTER SPACE

Heading to the moon? Why not grab a beer and watch the meteorites fly by? Thanks to two booze companies, Saber Astronautics Australia and the Four Pines Brewing Company, you may soon be able to get drunk in space!

The official beer of outer space

According to the Four Pines Brewing Company, the first zero-gravity beer will be named Vostok, after the first manned space flight in 1961. The idea of making a beer that can be consumed in space came about when Dr Jason Held – director of Saber Astronautics Australia and a regular drunkard at the local bar – discussed the possibility of coming up with a beer that will retain full-flavour no matter how long the flight duration is.

So, the spacemen from Saber’s first goal was to develop a recipe that people could enjoy comfortably, and they came up with a high-flavoured beer as a baseline recipe to ensure that space travellers could enjoy the full flavour of the smoky Irish style stout. We think Martians would love it too.
