Straying into space again there is
Still on the space theme, there is

“Mercury, The Winged Messenger” – A Belgian Single
“Jupiter, The Bringer of Jollity” – A malt forward Brown Ale
“Saturn, The Bringer of Old Age” – A Bourbon Barrel-aged Barleywine
“Uranus, The Magician” – Black Double IPA
“Neptune, The Mystic” – A beer inspired by Dr. Bell’s Medicinal Stout, one of Larry Bell’s homebrews that also helped inspire Eccentric Ale.
21 pages long and they are still finding new things to drink...almost sounds like a country western song.
Maybe, but the wife hasn't left with the truck and the dog, not not as much

Still on the space theme:
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.

There are plenty more space themed beers but, for a brief change, here is a drink named after an aerobatic move.
Also from Third Space Brewing, there is
Probably heavy enough to count as a black hole?Also from Third Space Brewing, there is

Sorry, Karl, I forgot that you had posted that drink higher up the page, so I have changed my post to a different one. you have brought me down to earth.
No prob; I thus deleted my post
The Down to Earth is quite tasty, BTW; most of the 21st Amendment's line is.

Something for the aircraft carrier fans:
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).
I may not have found the perfect beer, but I did find a very good matchbook cover for the bar.
To accompany your old match book there was this beer but I hardly think it would be drinkable after all this time.

One for our American mate David (Clipper) if he was a drinking man.
Today's drink remembers Howard Hughes' famous flying boat, which did not quite succeed.
Another famous plane
It appears that this drink Absolute Altitude won an award back in 2016.
Something you do not want to do in a plane.
I have a co-worker (ahem, team member) who loves sours. Frankly, I can't see (or taste) the attraction

I am sorry, Karl, but I find these pictures of aviation themed drinks without knowing what they taste like.
Oh, not a criticism, just a comment

This is a Baltic style porter called 'Under the Radar'.
Just found this one Dave.

This beer is called 'Radar Love'.
Then there is 'Jam the Radar'.
This one sounded quite tasty, until they aged it in bourbon barrels.
