To boldly go where no beer has gone before.......

Damn the Japanese! They stole my ingenious idea of growing barley in space, then using it to brew some space beer!

Japanese based Sapporo Breweries has just released a beer brewed from the aptly named "Space Barley," (also the name of the beer.) So that's what they're doing up there.......Clearly the head honchos over at Sapporo are not all that concerned with the main selling point of the beer though, here's a quote from Strategy Managing Director Junichi Ichikawa:

"There's really no beer like it because it uses 100 per cent barley. Our top seller is the Black Label brand, using additional ingredients such as rice. This one doesn't, and is really a special beer."

Wow, how about, I dunno; the fact that it's primary ingredient was grown in SPACE! Jeez. Maybe some people are simply impressed by the fact that it's made of 100% barley (in my experience beers that are heavy on barley tend to taste like shit,) but I think people are more likely to get on board with the whole space thing........

This was truly a great achievement for mankind, which will go down in the annals of history. If you brew it, they will come. Last one to the space shuttle is buying the drinks!
