And since we’re going to be in space for a while, traveling to this Earth-like planet…

First Beer Brewed For Drinking in Space Will Undergo Testing in Low-Gravity Pub

With the announcement that Boeing plans to take tourists into space in five years, it was really only a matter of time before somebody started thinking about refreshments. Because where would space tourism be without space beer? Luckily, Astronauts4Hire, a non-profit space research corporation, has the situation in hand. They are about to test an Australian beer that’s brewed and bottled especially for consumption in microgravity.

It’ll be a stout, because you need a beer with low carbonation. See, in zero gees, the bubbles don’t rise.

I’m not a huge stout fan, but what the hell. Better than nothing.
