Space Beer
On December 2, the Sapporo brewing company unveiled "Space Barley," a beer brewed from barley descended from barley grains that spent five months aboard the International Space Station in 2006. Sapporo only brewed 100 liters of the space beer. As of the date of these images, Sapporo had no plans to sell the beer, and had announced no specific plans for distribution.
