Fortunately for humanity there is now a beer that’s possible to drink in space.
The Problem
[In space,] there’s little gravity to keep the [beer] in your stomach, but you still need to vent that carbon dioxide that is expanding inside your belly. You try to burp…. but you end up venting the carbon dioxide, beer, and whatever else was inside your stomach through your mouth and nose.
Australia to the Rescue
The Australian 4-Pines Brewing Company teamed up with Saber Astronautics Australia who did some lateral thinking and realized there’s no way any future astronaut will be able to pick up Barbarella over a pint at the orbital space bar if a “wet burp” makes an appearance…
Selecting a strong, reduced-carbon dioxide stout, the researchers have created a space-safe beer called “Vostok”
But why? …As if it’s not obvious.
the Australian brewing company [believes] that any development in the production of alcoholic beverages for space is a good thing for the advancement of mankind.
“Wherever humans have journeyed… in the last few thousand years, we first worry about water, food, shelter and clothing,” Jaron Mitchell, the founder of Four Pines, told news.com.au.
“In many cases beer is the next consideration soon after the above four.”
