You're in luck! There's a company that makes beer with yeast that's been in space [0].

I don't see anything on their site that indicates the use of yeast that has been in space. If that were the case they would surely mention it.

It looks like it's just beer in a special bottle that they say will work in zero-G.

How does that work?

The yeast will breed and die while fermenting, so the yeast you finish with will be different to that which you started with.

So its more like 'yeast whose forebears had gone to space'.

And do they save and reuse the batch of 'space yeast' or send a fresh batch to space for each brew?
