Space Beer?

Ground Control to Major Tom

Ninkasi Brewing Company came out with Ground Control Imperial Stout which was fermented with Space-Traveled Yeast.  The Company is based out of Eugene, Oregon and we actually have some of their beers on tap throughout the year at Irish Times.  How cool though, to have a beer that technically traveled to space!

In addition to releasing this limited edition beer in mid-April they also decided to start a little contest for someone who could make the best video, share it, and then win prizes.  Who better to make a Ninkasi Spec Commercial than Brad, who knows the guys from Ninkasi, and loves beer.  So on a Sunday evening a few of us shot what I think is a hilarious commercial, that transforms a night of drinking with Brad & Jeff, into a space party, where we're not quite sure if we've landed on the moon yet.

You can see our commercial right here: Ninkasi Ground Control...Space Beer?

I'm not usually a fan of dark beer but I really liked this one because it's lighter than a Guinness and has flavors of Hazelnuts and Cocoa Nibs, so it has a slight sweetness to it.  It's 10% ABV in a 22 ounce bottle for $20 at select locations.  We found them at Bev-Mo in Westwood.  But you better hurry because it's a limited edition and going fast!
