Freeze Dried Beer?

So I was glancing through the International Journal of Cancer(1) the
other day when I noticed they were using Freeze Dried Beer for a study.
So.....where can we get some?

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.

I think that would be called bread. There's a brewpub in Taos...Eskes? I'm a
member of the "Liquid Bread Club" there.

Somehow I'm thinking bread doesn't have the same attitude adjustment
factor.....

In the remains of dehydrated drunks? ;-)


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