Starbase Brewing | Texas Craft Beer | Official Brewery of Mars

Starbase Brewing is the Official Brewery of Mars

We're a Texas-based craft microbrewery aiming to be the first brewery on another planet. Our goals are to brew delicious beer, promote science and sustainability, and develop new brewing technologies optimized for humanity's future in space.

Established on Earth. Brewed for Mars.

The Brewing Philosophy

Starbase Brewing is creating out-of-this-world craft beers using the highest quality local Texas ingredients. Our beers are inspired by Starbase, Boca Chica, and the RGV, and are tailored specifically to space fans.

We will be brewing a wide range of styles - everything from classic ales to experimental tropical lagers to even an imperial stout.

The Beers

We'll be announcing our full beer lineup this summer. Stay tuned!

Details coming soon...

Hundreds of gallons of craft beer are stored in massive fermenters in the Starbase brewery in Austin, Texas. They sort of look like mini-Starships!

The Background

Starbase Brewing was founded by engineers who love space as much as we love beer. We're as passionate about Mars Colonization as we are about Hop Utilization.

We’re obsessed with the science behind beer-making (called "Zymurgy"!), and engineering is at the heart of everything we do.

Lids are added to 12-ounce cans on a Starbase aluminum canning line. These craft beers are produced in Austin and shipped all over Texas, including down to the Rio Grande Valley.

The Mission

Our company mission, brewing philosophy, and future brewery locations are heavily influenced by everything happening in Starbase, Texas.

All of our beers are inspired by recent rocketry advancements, and are designed to educate about the future of humanity in space.

This underlying goal of Starbase Brewing is to brew the first beer on another planet, and we are the "Official Brewery of Mars".

Two patrons in Texas cheers each other with fresh Starbase brews. To SpaceX! To Elon! To rocketry! To Mars! Yam seng!

The Timeline

We've developed 8 futuristic beers and have more in the pipeline.

Brewing is under way on our pilot system, and we will have beers available by November 2021.

We’ll be sharing more updates on our physical location soon. Follow us on social media to stay up-to-date!

The Future of Craft Beer

Starbase Brewing is building the brewery of the future. Each innovative area we are investing in can also be applied to colonizing other planets. Some of the first projects we plan to work on include:

• Optimizing the brewery from the ground-up for data collection

• Re-capturing all CO2 from fermentation

• Utilizing reverse-osmosis water treatment for all brewing water

The Future is Sustainable

Starbase Brewing is committed to preserving the environment for future generations. We aim to be leaders in sustainability for the whole brewing industry. We will be:

• Powered by 100% renewable energy

• Offsetting carbon emissions and investing in carbon removal tech

• Donating 1% of all profits to science education in Texas
