Their best beer has rice, but this one is even better because it doesn't? Is that what I'm reading?

I still want to try it, but come on...

There's really no beer like it because it uses 100% barley

Space Beer is the result of a five-month mission to boldly grow, where almost no one has grown barley before.

(Reuters) The adult beverage, brewed from barleycorn cultivated in the International Space Station in 2006, has splashed down courtesy of the Russian Academy of Science, a Japanese university and beer giant Sapporo.

But the 100 liters of the 5.5% alcoholic brew aren't for sale, although extra-terrestrial tastings are being offered to some lucky earthlings, as Sapporo tries to push its brand into a new orbit.

Junichi Ichikawa a Managing Director at Sapporo Breweries says, "There's really no beer like it because it uses 100% barley. Our top seller is the Black Label brand, using additional ingredients such as rice. This one doesn't and is really a special beer."

Cosmonaut Dr. Boris Morukov, who spent 11 days in space himself, says barley joins wheat, lettuce and peas as space station produce, noting potatoes may take root in future studies, although not to make an equally famous Russian beverage.

With explorers now eyeing longer trips to Mars, that menu may change, and Okayama University Professor Manabu Sugimoto says don't rule out space ramen or rice wine in the future.

Now if they'd made it with the lettuce as an adjunct I'd be impressed/terrified.
