Our Fruit Tarts are designed to reward the curious and to cost no more than they need to.” At only $30 for a four pack of eight-ounce cans, it’s a hell of a deal.
We could have easily charged $100 per 4-pack or more, but at the end of the day we want more people to enjoy our Fruit Tarts. “One thing we’ve always believed,” Scotty Hunter, the brewery’s CFO, adds, “is that great drinks don’t need to be greatly expensive for you to enjoy.

It was because there’s too much water in fresh fruit.” Their answer became instantly clear: remove the water, and you can add a lot more fruit than before. “We realized that the limitation wasn’t in the amount of fruit we could buy. Our best ideas come from separating ourselves from constraints, and, in doing so, the question became how we could possibly fit more fruit in a can,” Baker continues. “When we first came up with the idea for Astronaut Food, it wasn’t about the price. Even most spirits are around $500 per barrel after distillation. The average beer costs around $75 per barrel, wine is approximately $100. The resulting fruit-dense Fruit Tart clocks in at an out-of-this-world cost of over $1,111 per barrel and that’s just in ingredients. It takes roughly 11 pounds of fresh fruit to produce one pound of freeze-dried fruit, which creates the high price tag. “We love to explore, to pursue our creativity in innovative ways and reward the curious drinker,” says Bret Kollmann Baker, one of the brewery’s co-owners., “We’ve brewed beers with Yellow Mombin, an exotic fruit that only grows in the Amazon Rainforest with Durian, the world’s stinkiest fruit and the previously illegal purple-hulled Mangosteen.” These fruits command a high price, but none cost more than fruit that has been freeze-dried.Īstronaut Food is a Fruit Tart made with over 1,000 lbs of freeze-dried blackberries and blueberries. Meet the decadent Astronaut Food Blackberry & Blueberry. Cincinnati’s Urban Artifact says it didn’t set out to create the world’s most expensive (and fruitiest) fermented beverage, but here we are.
