Certified Space Beer - Four Pines

While I've done a wine tour or two :) I know very little about beer. So when I heard the Sydney Brew Festival was taking place, I signed up for a brew tasting at Four Pines Brewery in Manly.

After the tasting my fave was the Pale Ale. Yet the most interesting was the Space Beer.  How this came to be is a frequent patron works for a company that had the opportunity to recommend a beer that could be certified to be served in outer space.

Why does a beer need to be certified in outer space? Well, as Richard Branson prepares to take those who can afford it into outer space, those passengers are going to want to enjoy a brewski.

And Four Pines is the first beer to be certified in outer space.
