Multiple blogs and news organizations have already reported that Sapporo has brewed their “space beer”. (Beer Blog Search for “space beer”.) That is, beer brewed from barley originally grown on the International Space Station. (We talked about space beer on Hop Talk back in May.)

The funniest comment I’ve seen on this is from Cory Doctorow at Boing Boing.

Sapporo’s brewing a private-edition “space beer” made from barley descended from seeds that circled the globe on the ISS. The beer is disappointingly normal and has not been reported to cause gigantism, telekinesis, or any of the other typical space-seed effects.
