Japanese space beer
Sapporo’s space beer is finally ready for consumption:
The brewer will receive orders for the Sapporo Space Barley beer via the Internet until Dec. 24, making 250 six-packs, holding 330-ml bottles, available at a price of ¥10,000 each, Sapporo said Thursday, adding the product will be delivered to customers in late January. Proceeds will be used for the promotion of science education.
The original barley seeds were stored for five months in the Russian module of the International Space Station.
