A crop of 3rd generation barley, originally from .14 ounces of seedlings that spent five months in a zero-gravity environment on the International Space Station in 2006, are being harvested and turned into beer.  According to Sapporo Holdings (the brewer and one of Japan’s largest beverage makers) they plan on collaborating with scientists at Japan’s Okayama University to brew what’s been dubbed “The first space beer.”  Only 100 bottles are being made and the beer will not be for retail sale, however, Sapporo says some lucky consumers will get to try it once it’s ready in November.  Scientists working on he Russian project to investigate growing edible plants in space, claim that they’ve yet to find any differences between Earth-grown and space-grown barley.  And the big question from beer geeks is:  Will it taste out of this world?
