I have read that the beer called “4 pine vostok”, from the 4 pine brewery, has been specifically created to be used in space to be safe for astronauts.
Why is is not safe for astronauts to drink regular beer?

Because on Earth, when you drink fizzy things, gravity makes the heavier liquids fall to the bottom of your stomach, while the lighter gas rises to the top and then you burp it out.
But in zero-G (yes, technically microgravity) there is no such effect. The gas remains mixed with the liquid so that you can’t burp it out. It’s like trying to burp while you’re standing on your head.
