It just doesn't sound right. Have you or anyone you know tried this? On the positive side, I've got to believe it couldn't be any worse than a Bud or Miller.

As a homebrewer I have to say that that is wrong on so many levels. Making your own is an art form that is as intricately detailed as any martial art. Just add water? No thank you.

Milwaukee's Best is a Miller product, so I guess you're right.

Speaking of Miller, I get a kick out of the commercial that boasts that hops are added to Miller Lite three times. I imagine some dude standing over a big vat of the light yellow stuff with a hop in a tea bag dips one, two, three; then takes the tea bag on to the next batch.

It's only light yellow 'cause he just pissed in the vat.

From the website, it sounds like they've developed a distillation/brewing process that yields a concentrated "beer" starter mix that, when you add carbonated water, ends up tasting like regular beer. Kind of like liquid lemonade mix...

Of course, if I'm going to pack it, I'm probably just going to carry some bourbon or scotch or vodka, and save the hassle...

That site is positively brimming over with its own byproduct.

1) There's a technical term for beer concentrate. That term is "whiskey". When you remove the water from beer you are left with alcohol and flavorings. We call that process distillation.

2) If he's not actually lying he's found a way to grow yeast in a less aqueous environment. Color me highly skeptical.

I'm thinking they feed the hops to a diabetic horse and process it all through its kidneys...
