Introducing Enterprise Blonde Ale; a Tribute to Space Exploration

Lost Worlds Brewing in partnership with Viacom/Paramount/CBS and the Star Trek franchise is releasing Enterprise Blonde Ale – a beer to celebrate the spirit of exploration. Enterprise Blonde Ale pays homage to the iconic spaceship, the U.S.S. Enterprise that made its first appearance on television in 1966. As a constitution-class vessel, it was powered by a matter/anti-matter reactor and staffed by an interplanetary crew. The Enterprise was tasked with the ultimate adventure – to explore the universe. Captain James T Kirk, the commander of the USS Enterprise, declared its purpose: “Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.

The show “Star Trek” aired on CBS for three years. However, it gradually grew to achieve a cult-like following. Those who embrace and often try to emulate the culture and adventure of Star Trek are known as “Trekkies.” The popularity of the series and the enduring image of the Enterprise exploring space led NASA to name its first space shuttle orbiter (Enterprise OV-1-1) after this iconic ship.

 “With the commitment of the United States to return to the lunar surface as part of NASA’s Artemis program, this is the time to begin new adventures and celebrate the appreciation of space travel that was buoyed by the Star Trek franchise,” says Lost Worlds Founder, Dave Hamme. The goal of the Artemis program is to land humans on the moon and establish a more permanent presence there. By gaining a foothold on the moon, the end game is to land humans on Mars.

“Enterprise Blonde Ale pays homage to this great ship and how it smoothly navigated the stars in search of new galaxies, new planets, and new species,” says Hamme. “We’re proud of our partnership with Viacom/Paramount/CBS and can’t wait to get it into the hands of Trekkies and craft beer lovers.”
