The First Beer In Space [VIDEO]

A couple of "Natty Light" enthusiasts approached the brewer, Natural Ice with the idea to make the mediocre frat-house beer slightly more remarkable by making it the first to be sent into space. Their spacecraft' was a styrofoam cooler, a GPS tracking device, and an HD camera, launched into space with a weather balloon last week.

A couple of “Natty Light” enthusiasts approached the brewer, Natural Ice with the idea to make the mediocre frat-house beer slightly more remarkable by making it the first to be sent into space. Their spacecraft’ was a styrofoam cooler, a GPS tracking device, and an HD camera, launched into space with a weather balloon last week.

The spacecraft reaches a height of 27 432 meters before their balloon pops and their beer package plummets back to Earth.

I mean arguably the real first beer in space was the Sapporo brewed from space-grown Suds back in 2009, but the video footage wasn’t anywhere near as striking.

They called the Natty Light spacecraft the “Aluminum Fullcan,” because I guess if you drink Natty Light that says stuff about your sense of humour too.

Bros in Space.
