Dehydrated beer?

Hey, as Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit likes to say, "Well it IS the 21st Century."

If they can get it to work it will be pretty interesting.  Imagine how much sodas would cost if they had to be transported fully reconstituted.  Maybe beer prices will drop like gas prices.

One review from an author and beer expert:

Quote:

"Conceptually, kudos to these guys for pulling off such a crazy idea. My bartenders could make an interesting cocktail using the syrup as bitters. You get a nice head on the beers when you stir them up in the glass. The Pail Rail tastes like a beer. It's definitely not the worst I've ever had. Sort of like Yuengling. That is the better of the two. They hopped the hell out of the Black Hops. It was hard for me to taste it. It's over-caramelized, with a candied flavor at the end."

It may be a little like the dancing bear (it is not how well he dances, it is that he dances at all) at this stage but it sounds like it has potential.  Varietal beers popping out of your Beurig. LOL.
