Space Barley Beer

While it's not technically "beer from space," the limited-edition flavor does have a few things going for it. The barley that was used to make the beer was derived from seeds that grew in space, as part of a 2006 experiment where astronauts tried to grow real food while floating in zero gravity.

Space Barley, the beer, is brewed from roasted malt that is made completely with fourth-generation "space barley." The beverage features a slightly dark color ("that evokes an image of cosmic space"), a mellow fragrance and a distinctive roasted taste.
