First 'Space Beer' Made With Astro-Barley Sold on Earth

[Ichingcarpenter]

Apparently, there's not a lot of work to do on the International Space Station (ISS) these days. Who needs important scientific research anyway? Instead, some Russians and Japanese astronauts decided to grow some barley and make some home-brewed brew.

According to the Telegraph, Japan's Sapporo Breweries will sell six packs of the world's first "space beer," which was actually brewed on this planet, but uses barley grown in space, to select Earthlings who win a lottery. In all, 250 people will have the chance to purchase a pack of the beer, dubbed "Space Barley," which will sell for $115-a-pack or about $19-a-bottle. That's pricey, but when you're talking about a small, one-time batch, the cost becomes a simple case of supply and demand.




CHEERS!!!
