Now that¿s moonshine! Brewery creates out of this world beer using real MOON DUST Flavour is of 'doughy malt, toasted bread, caramel, and herbal bitterness' Named Celest Jewel, it was developed to celebrate the autumnal equinox 5% alcoholic brew comes with a beer sleeve made of spacesuit fabric The moon isn't made out of cheese, apparently. But in better news, it seems the Earth's satellite could help improve the taste of beer. This is according to the Dogfish Head brewery in Delaware which has created a beer using real moon dust. The out of this world brew was developed to celebrate the autumnal equinox last month with the help of ILC Dover- a local company known for creating the Apollo space suits. A beer brewed with moon dust might sound like a lunatic idea, but it is now a reality thanks to a Delaware brewery and the company behind NASA's Apollo spacesuits Named the Celest-jewel-ale, the brewery describes its flavour as "doughy malt, toasted bread, subtle caramel, and a light herbal bitterness." It added that the dust is made up mainly of minerals and salts, helping the yeast-induced fermentation process and lending "a subtle but complex earthiness." There is no official definition of what size fraction of lunar soil is classed as' moon dust' - some scientists claim that dust is anything less than 50 micrometres in diameter.

It is mainly created by the breakdown of basaltic and anorthositic rock. These rocks and particles are left on the moon and caused by meteorites and other interstellar particles crashing into the moon's surface over billions of year. There is no official definition of what size fraction of lunar soil is classed as' moon dust' - some scientists claim that dust is anything less than 50 micrometres in diameter, whereas others put it at less than 10. The five per cent alcoholic brew even comes with a beer sleeve made from the fabric of a spacesuit- making it the best protected beer on the planet. The outer layer of the sleeve is specially woven to have white Gore-Tex material on the exterior and Nomex with a Kevlar ripstop on the interior. Its colour limits the absorption of solar energy, the Nomex is for fire protection, and the Kevlar prevents tearing. All the materials of the beer sleeve can withstand the rigors of space including temperatures ranging from +250/-250F and a micrometeoroid traveling at 10 miles per second, solar radiation and the vacuum of space. Unfortunately, you can't go out and buy the moon brew or beer sleeve at your local off licence. It is only available on the menu at the company's Rehoboth Beach pub in Delaware. Sam Calagione, Dogfish Head's chief executive and master brewer has previously created a traditional saliva-inclusive Incan brew called Chicha. in order to follow an authentic recipe as closely as possible, the corn for the Chica brew was milled and moistened in the maker's mouth. In other words, it included a generous helping of spit. The brewery has also created the Midas Touch from sediment found on drinking vessels in the tomb of King Midas in Turkey, and Chateau Jiahu, inspired by trace ingredients from a 9,000-year-old dig in China.
