Sapporo Breweries wrote about this drink,"The "space barley" used to make this beer is the fourth generation descendant of the Haruna Nijo malting barley that was developed by Sapporo Breweries and kept in space for five months during 2006 as part of our collaborative research with the Russian Academy of Sciences and Okayama University with the purpose of achieving self-sufficiency in food in the space environment.

This lager was brewed in 2011 to honour Czech pilot Josef Frantisek.
Following repeated reprimands for lack of discipline, allied airman Sgt Frantisek was banned from flying in formation during the Battle of Britain and was instead allowed to mount his own lone missions against the Luftwaffe - which met with spectacular success. The Lone Wolf, as he was nicknamed, was credited with shooting 17 German aircraft in one month making him one of the campaign’s top scoring pilots.
He died in 1940 after crashing into a runway during a landing approach shortly after receiving the Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC).
