A brewery in Oregon is releasing a beer, called Ground Control, an imperial stout brewed with yeast that travelled (very briefly) to space in 2014.

The first batch of yeast the Ninkasi Brewing Company sent into space July 2015 ended up lost in the desert after it returned to Earth, but in October, six vials successfully travelled into space and back, News.com.au reported.

Because this was no ordinary beer, the company enlisted the help of legendary gig poster artist, Neal Williams, to create the label and special edition packaging.

Ground Control will be available from April 13, 2015, in limited edition 22-ounce bottles at select retailers across America.
