well not really but.....

I will definitely give this a go when it comes out. Hopefully it will be soon.
However I think it will be important to have realistic expectations, like with freeze dried meals. They are not restaurant quality & I cant see this being as good as a 'proper' beer. Hopefully it tastes better than VB
What does everyone here think
Cheers

TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

This timeless combo works just fine for me, thankyou very much... just because you're doing it tough and packing light, doesn't means you ahve to scrimp on everything...

Interesting idea, but honestly, I can't imagine it'd taste anywhere near like a decent beer (not even to the low standards of VB), and if I had a choice between no beer and sh*t tasting packet instant-beer... I'd rather go sober.

Did you say Guiness pig?
Taste aside (and who knows, we could be pleasantly surprised), my other concern would be keeping the "water-that-will-become-beer" cold - fine if you're up above the snow line, but not much fun mid-summer in Aus.

Drinking anything alcoholic on a hot day is counter-productive, as alcohol is a diuretic. Why not stick to lovely cold, clean mountain water?
