Commercial space flight is a booming industry around the world these days and usually the brilliant scientists and engineers who work in the field are more concerned with producing heavy launch vehicles, human capsules that are safety ensured, zero-gravity docking procedures and building space ports. However, one craft brewer from Sydney, Australia and an American aeronautical engineer are asking – What will we drink in space?
To help answer that question they have crafted the world’s first craft beer, specifically engineered for space travel. Jason Held (the NASA engineer who’s worked on the Hubble Telescope) and Jaron Mitchell (who owns the 4 Pines Brewpub in Sydney Australia) have created that science fiction dream dubbed the “Vostok 4 Pines Stout” (Vostok after the rocket that took the first man into space).
