No, this isn't beer made from the mashed-up remains of aliens. It's beer made from barley grown in the International Space Station's backyard garden. There's only a 100 liters of this space brew available, and Sapporo Breweries Ltd picked 30 lucky samplers by lottery to participate in a January tasting. The barley is apparently a third generation space-born-earthling plant. The beer has already been animal and human tested, so there are no dangerous effects (other than the usual inebriation).

Nice gimmick. Take a handful of barley, if that, and throw it into a regular batch and call it "Space Beer".
Call me Sapporo when you're offering free drinks of Louis XIII Black Pearl Cognac. I'll take two and bring my own cigar.
