Aussie beer hopes to go into space

SYDNEY -Wherever man has ventured, beer has followed. Now, two Australian entrepreneurs said they hope that will include space.

Looking ahead to a future of growing space tourism, they have developed a full-bodied brew they believe can stand up to the trials of imbibing in space, including swelling tongues that diminish the sense of taste.

"It's going to be the first beer that will be specifically designed to be drunk in zero gravity with upcoming space tourism," said Jaron Mitchell, who owns the 4 Pines Brewing Company, a microbrewery.
