Must be a wind up! What would you be doing carrying a sachet of beer powder, a bottle of water and a sodastream around?
Maybe a bottle of fizzy water would do. Yak! Ballygowan flavoured beer!

Maybe it tastes nice. I'd appreciate a beer after climbing up a mountain.
Then again, i'd probably just bring a can of beer with me...

I don't think it'll be long before we see beer dispensed via a corny keg hooked up to carbonated water in the same way coca cola is.

A freind of mine used to bring homebrew in army sacks (10L) to crusty parties around the country and just carb em up with a sodastream there and then. Twas great craic, before any of us knew whatb extract or allgrain meant...
