The World’s Most Expensive Beer to Brew Returns for Urban Artifact

Astronaut Food, the world’s most expensive beer to brew, is ready and set to launch into orbit, carrying the largest payload of peaches ever to be used in an alcoholic drink. The 2023 edition of Astronaut Food features over 1,500 pounds of freeze dried real peaches. This is the equivalent of over 16,500 lbs of fresh peaches for a single batch, or two whole peaches per 8oz can! The out-of-this-world feat is only possible with pioneering brewing techniques and advanced subfreezing-vacuum fruit dehydration technology. Limited quantities are available as of February 13, 2023 wherever Urban Artifact products are sold.

The Freeze Dried Fruit Tarts that Urban Artifact makes, lovingly called “Astronaut Food” as an homage to their mainstay ingredient, were born out of our brew team’s natural curiosity. We’ve long pushed past traditional boundaries for fruit beers, and continually ask big questions like: “How could we possibly put any more fruit into our beers?”. It became a personal challenge for our team to crack this puzzle. After all, if you keep adding more and more fresh fruit to your beer, at a certain point your actually adding more water than fruit flavor, which only acts to dilute the characteristics we love about our Fruit Tarts. So we find ourselves at the tail end of a long night of brainstorming and with more than a couple Fruit Tart’s to wet the mind’s whistle, the answer came to us in a flash: Freeze Dried Fruit. The only way to possibly get more fruit into our products, without diluting them, was to add fruit that has had the water removed! Two years of research and development later, the Astronaut Food line of fruit tarts was born. 

Our 2023 release, Astronaut Food Peach, is the perfect liquid treat. A velvety-smooth texture with the flavor of peach nectar accompanied by a heady touch of booze. Enjoy after a nice meal, with a good book, or the next time you get the urge to fire up old episodes of Carl Sagan’s “Cosmos”. This beer only comes around once a year, so make sure you don’t miss out and snag yours before it’s too late. 

Astronaut Food: Peach is 15% ABV, and available in four packs of 8-oz cans in limited quantities wherever Urban Artifact products are sold.
