Out Of This World: 'Space Beer'
Japanese Company To Sell 6-Packs For About $115

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A lot of people say that certain foods taste like they are "out of this world," and for a new Japanese beer, that's the truth.

The "space beer," which is made using barley that was grown on the International Space Station, was unveiled in Japan on Thursday

Brewer Sapporo said the barley grown in space does not look any different in terms of color or size.

Six-packs of the space beer cost about $115 and will be sold to 250 buyers who will be selected by lottery. Proceeds will go to a children's educational science charity in Japan and Russia.
