Sam Adams Launches New 'Space Craft' Beer With Hops That Traveled 300 Miles Above Earth

BOSTON (CBS) -- A new beer from Sam Adams has literally been out of this world.

The Boston-based brewer is launching its new "Space Craft" IPA. It's made from 66 pounds of hops that traveled over 300 miles above Earth on the first all-civilian space mission that SpaceX launched back in September.

Sam Adams says the IPA has a "firm bitterness and tropical notes of grapefruit, guava and passionfruit."

The beer is now on tap at the Sam Adams Brewery in Jamaica Plain and Tap Room in Boston.
