Isn't that called whisky? Laphroaig cask strength is pretty near, at
least. :-)

This is one of those ideas that sounded good until someone actually
tasted it.

_ Freeze distillation is an old New England Tradition. You take
hard cider and skim the ice off every day. Is is "dry" if there's
no water in it?

Yes, the classic way to turn hard cider into applejack, roughly
equivalent in alcohol content to a brandy.

The freezedried beer was a powder to which you added water and vodka,
and was supposed to have a little froth on top.

It was announced several years ago, hit the market, and faded away
rather quickly. Reviews were not favorable.

There is a more recent freeze- dried beer idea from a couple of Purdue
students, but they are proposing it as a "spice" to add beer flavor to
various foods, not to reconstitute into a drink.

you can always get a can of the surup home brew is made from and mix a bit
with water. this stuff is supposed to be good for you. use it on pancakes
right out of the can. more concentrate than freeze dry.

Actually, there were folks working on freeze dried beer many years ago. i.e.
freeze drieing the carbs and flavoring materials, adding microencapsulated
alcohol and some dry chemicals to give it some fizz when rehydrated. Haven't
heard much about it so I assume it tasted bad.

Actually, there is a (former) Molson Brewery in Barrie which closed
last year, and I understand the new tenants were making a product
which dries quite well, and many consider a worthy substitute for
beer.

In the remains of dehydrated drunks? ;-)


Actually, I don't know... but the idea of freeze-dried beer sounds intriguing!
