# Space-Bound Stouts Astronauts4Hire Will Bring Beer Out of the Atmosphere By Amelia Roblin | Published 2010-10-01 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/astronauts4hire References: [popsci](http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2010-09/space-beer-being-tested-supplement-space-tourism) With [tourist missions to space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmoale) on the horizon, naturally ogranizations like Astronauts4Hire have started thinking about what beverages to serve them up there. As it is, the carbonation in beer does not agree with the zero-gravity atmosphere, remaining inactive within the liquid. Astronauts4Hire has decided to [produce a stout](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caffreys-black-stout) since the brew already contains less carbonation. Testing for the new space-beer will begin in about a month on a Boeing airplane of the [Zero Gravity Corporation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-gravity-af).
