— TO BE THE FIRST BEER ON MARS
Starbase Brewing was founded by engineers who love rockets and space exploration as much as we love craft beer.
Our company mission and brewing philosophy are heavily influenced by everything happening in Starbase Texas, and engineering is at the heart of all we do.
Our beers are inspired by recent rocketry advancements, and designed to educate about the future of humanity in space.
Long term, we will establish the first brewery on Mars.
We are automating brewing operations and will eventually publish all data on our website for anyone to follow along with our brew days.
On Mars, robust automation will be critical to reducing human labor in a hostile working environment.
All brewing water passes through a state-of-the-art filtration system to remove impurities, essential for crafting high-quality beers.
On Mars, every drop of water matters. Water treatment will allow us to utilize water efficiently on the Red Planet.
Eventually, we plan to experiment with hydroponic hop growing systems to reduce water usage and shrink our carbon footprint.
On Mars, much of the food will be grown using hydroponic systems due to high levels of salts in the Martian soil.
Long term, we plan to capture CO2 from the fermentation process and re-use it in other operations like canning and pressure transfers.
On Mars, capturing CO2 will help to establish a sustainable life-support system and promote long-term habitation.
Our brewery is powered by solar energy. We also recycle water in our brewing process, making us fully equipped for Mars' resource-limited environment.
We actively combat emissions by investing in carbon offset projects. Even though terraforming Mars is the goal, it's also important to invest in keeping Earth livable.
We donate 1% of profits to science education to build public support for the space industry and inspire future generations of scientists, engineers, and Martian pioneers.
