Genius Invents ‘Just-Add-Water’ Beer, It’s About Damn Time

Beer just got a lot more portable.

What if I told you lugging a 12-pack through the woods or across the beach could be a thing of the past? Making bro dreams come true, Pat’s Backcountry Beverages has developed a beer concentrate that’ll whip up a 16oz ale, just add water! Oh, and CO2, because flat beer is not the business.

In what can only be described as an on-the-go sodastream, Pat’s has designed an easy-to-use carbonation system that will have you chugging down a cold frothy beer in minutes. Simply add your pouch of beer concentrate to your Carbonator, fill the plastic bottle with 16oz of water and get to shakin’. The secret is in the Eco2Activator powder, a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and citric acid that gives the drink it’s bubbly nature. The powder is housed in it’s own compartment so it won’t mess with the flavor of your brew.

The aptly named “Hybrid Brewing Technology” is a unique brewing process creator Pat Tatera uses to create his beer concentrate. This secret process involves creating the beer without the water, rather than trying to pull the water out of an already brewed beer. The result is a beer syrup that combines successfully with water to create a full bodied brew.

Don’t expect to find these packets at your local Bed, Bath and Beyond. Due to the high alcohol content, the Pail Rail and Black IPA concentrates will be sold for $9.95 (4-pack) at liquor stores starting in September.
