Beer just got a whole lot easier to cart around. Dubbed Pat's Backcountry Beverages, it's a backpacker friendly carbonated beverage kit for beer. It works by taking Pat's beer concentrate where you can add water to activate it.

Each packet of beer concentrate holds enough for a single 16oz pint. Pat Tatera, the Pat in the company name, explains:
"We uphold the German purity laws — it's barley, water, hops and yeast. But from that point forward what we do with those ingredients is a radical departure from how the traditional brewing process takes place. If you come into our facility, you'll see fermentors, you'll see a mash tun, you'll see a brew kettle, but you'll also see some equipment that looks like some sci-fi movie, and that's where our very specialized technology allows us to do what we do."
