Freeze dried beer - for easy transportation | |
It's been done for coffee, but could freeze drying be the next logical step for beer-lovers?
How many times have you longed for your favourite beer but been unable to get it when you travel? Never mind "sampling the local delicacies" - tried it and they just can't compare to my favourite Scottish ale.
Then there's the issue of volume, weight and storage - how much easier to keep granules/ powder in the cupboard and make up as required, with water at whatever temperature you like.
This product should consist of "just-add-water" type granules, allowing you and your friends to have your favourite beer to hand whenever and wherever!
Like coffee it may not be as tasty as the real thing but it should be a whole lot better than the beer lottery you might otherwise have to endure.

Why not beer fizzy candy, a la Alchy-Pop-Rocks? |
|
| |
what about Beercaine, the Beer You Snort? |
|

Baked. I made a beer cordial a few years ago, based on the style of a Northern English beer - Theakstons Old Peculier. Very dark, malty beer with a very distinctive taste, and almost impossible to get outside the North of England. |
|
| |
The cordial looked like treacle and needed to be watered down about 5:1. It didn't go off over time either - I made around 8 pints of cordial which lasted me a good nine months of drinking. |
|
| |
Taste wasn't quite up to the original, but it was still better than the Courage Best served in my then local. |
|
| |
Yes, Beer Concentrate might be more viable, have it come highly carbonated in a strong can. Just poor & add water to have a pitcher of beer! |
|
| |
But then, why not just carry a can of beer... |
|
| |
Bloody hell! I was thinking about Beer Bags (just add alcohol and water) and did a quick halfbakery search on 'Beer'. I give up!
Note to mboxwell. I used to live next to a free house offy that sold Old Peculiar and (better) Sam Smith's bottled mild (just open the bottle and breathe in). Mmmmmmmmmmmmm! |

The alcohol would be the problem. If you had a can of alcohol and carbonated water you could pour in KOOL-AID's " Bud " or " Coor's " flavor. French wine flavors would be good too or spearmint, for when you had to go back to work. Since nobody really likes the taste of beer I think the beer flavor would be the worst seller. |
|
| |
Completely incorrect. Maybe people who drink Budwater don't like the taste, but those of us who drink things like Guinness do. |
|
| |
Well said Starchaser.
Note to jutta: Isn't it about time we were allowed to give croissants to particularly incisive annotations? |

[Star]: The advantage of Coor's and English lager is that they don't really *have* any taste, just the sensation of cold-and-fizzy-with-a-slight-tang-of-rusty-tin-cans. |
|
| |
Sorry, [DrBob], I meant the popular English *version* of lager; Foster's, Carlsberg, Stella Tortoise and the like. In fact, even Beck's, which is claimed to be German, is made in UK. (My local has a *real ale* lager, which is, apparently, excellent.) |
|
| |
Nice to see the NTNOCN reference slipping in there, angel.
I recommend Budvar, the original Czech bottled lager . Make sure it's cold! (and don't accept Budweiser as a substitute). I could do with one now as it happens. I'm boiling my brains out in this bloody office! |
|

Angel, if all you want is to get drunk, that's fine. I like the taste of Guinness and the few other beers I drink. <Been wanting to try some of the other Stouts, but it's hard to find them in the area.> |
|
| |
I'll buy a sixpack and it'll last me a month. I don't drink a lot of beer at a time, but I do enjoy what I do drink. |
|
| |
[Start]: I'm not knocking Guinness, I quite like the fella. And I'd prefer to drink a good-tasting but relatively weak real ale than a strong 'lager' that tastes like fizzy rats' piss. |

DrBob: yeah, this site seems to provoke discussion, but theres no real way of checking to see if you`ve got a reply - seems the best you can do is Search for your nickname and hope who-ever replied to you quoted it in full, and didnt just post! Maybe look into the Scoop engine? Or Slashcode. Both of which support moderation, rating of comments etc.
Then again, perhaps its deliberate, to discourage conversation, and focus our minds on the issue at hand?! :) |

yeah maybe you could even encase it in capsules and just shove one up your ass when breath is an issue of concern. beer suppositories. |
