We really, really love good beer
– WE NOT ONLY REALLY REALLY LOVE GOOD BEER, BUT WE LOVE SPACE TOO –
The joint venture between 4 Pines & Saber Astronautics started over a few innocent beers at the 4 Pines Brewpub in Manly.
We would talk about space, we would talk about beer, we would talk about other things as well. Luckily the head of Saber is a PhD and has about 15 degrees otherwise we may have never have got to this point. One day he asks the 4 Pines founder “so how would you like to put your beer into space?” Pure Genius.
With space tourism a burgeoning reality and hundreds of rejoicing happy space fans booked on flights into space, we wanted to be well prepared. Let’s face it, just like history has told us with pretty much every other human conquest and beer coming in very close behind it, these intergalactic holidaymakers will want to enjoy a tasty beer while floating around in outta space.
4-PINES BREWING COMPANY
4 Pines was born over a decade ago from a casual conversation between a father and son, post surf, who simply wanted an exceptional beer and options were limited.
It presented the wider family an opportunity to do something together; to build a small brewpub, introduce others to an exceptional beer and brewpub experience they had never seen before, build a little community where all were welcome and make some friends along the way.
4 Pines was built on throwing convention out the window, using alternative methods to measure success and having fun while we did it. And our quest to send beer into space is just one example of this.
This innocent conversation that evolved into a brewpub became the foundation of a lifelong journey with family, friends and the community to restore the fun in people’s lives and forever challenge what the world imagines business should be.
In addition to our core Space Beer team, we’ve assembled an incredible group of engineers, designers, and industry experts who are collaborating with us to bring Space Beer to infinity and beyond!
