Ive tried a couple. Andy at backcountry.scot had it and was looking to import but HMRC couldn't get their head around it (duty is levied according to alcohol content so it ended up as a spirit). It's OK. Just. A bit of a faff. I'd consider it for a group but not something I'd carry solo.

What he said - too much faff and quite a bit of kit (dedicated nalgene bottle, carbonator thingy and beer sachets) for an average pint. I once just diluted one with un carbonated water and it didn't taste any worse. I wondered about using them with shop bought fizzy water but it all seemed too much trouble compared to humpfing a couple of cans with you, or taking whisky.

I recall reading about dehydrated alcoholic drinks a few years ago. At the time a US company had a range that included beer, red wine, rum and coke and whisky and coke. From (unreliable) memory I think that you just had to add water. They were having trouble getting it licenced because the FDA thought that people would snort it.

You can also eat it straight out the pack - like a very alcoholic sports gel.
