“Enjoying the great outdoors has spawned an entire market catering for campers who want to enjoy a hearty meal without overloading their rucksack. Camping shops now sell a whole range of dried, lightweight foods – from all day breakfasts to chicken tikka masalas. But now a new – and some might say revolutionary – addition to their food shelf has been added: Dried beer. A U.S. brewer has managed to create a concentrate that simply requires water being added and carbonated shortly before it is drunk. Pat’s Backcountry Beverages has managed to create a near waterless formulation that claims to offer all the taste, aroma and alcohol of the traditional beverage.”
