Researchers Test Space Beer

Posted by samzenpus on from the rocket-of-suds dept.

With space tourism becoming a real possibility in the near future, brewers are trying to figure out how to provide a good beer in space. To this end, a non-profit space research corporation Astronauts4Hire will begin testing an Australian brew created to be enjoyed in microgravity. From the article: "In the past, NASA has also sponsored studies on space beer, and whether or not the popular beverage can be brewed in space. Under current policies, however, alcohol remains forbidden on the International Space Station."

    Why not just make Vodka? It's a lot better and doesn't have the same problems. Also it's a lot less fattening.

    That would be home made Kombucha. Available right here on earth, now, for free, as in you make it yourself.
