Notes From The Tiger’s Cave

Will You Drink Beer In Space When Your Internet Marketing Start-Up Takes Off?

After a busy day spent at home promoting my Internet marketing start-up business, I like to crack open a can or two of beer in the evening. As I live in Hiroshima, my preferred Japanese beer tends to be Kirin.

However, if my Internet marketing start-up business is to take off like a space rocket, I think I might have to switch to a different brew, namely, Sapporo.

Sapporo Holdings recently announced that it is planning to brew the first “space beer,” using barley grown from grain that was stored on the International Space Station in 2006.

The brewery has enough space grain to brew up to 100 bottles of beer. It is more of a publicity stunt than a commercial enterprise, but the company suggested that in the future, when humans spend long periods of time in space, they might like a cold beer after a space walk.

That’s great, but as there is no gravity I guess they’d have to drink it through a straw, which might not be the best of ideas when you have a space station to run.

I know that after a day spent walking my website or related articles and stuff into as much web-space as possible, I can always do with a drink, preferably poured into a tankard that has spent an hour or so in the freezer.
