A comment on an old Trail Head blog came through this morning and set me to a good chuckling. Re my post on the nasty hoax about the breakthrough development of dehydrated beer, an enthusiastic Ruth commented:

"If we can put a man on the moon, in the name of God, can we not develop dehydrated beer? Can you imagine how successful a business this would be?
There's got to be a way, got to be a way."

Ditto that Ruth. I couldn't agree more.

Given this great country's long history of innovation and entrepreneurism you'd think full well that such an extraordinary feat could be accomplished, would have been by now, wouldn't you?

And what a boon to mankind would it be! Never mind the implications for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts alike!!

Dehydrated beer - a product for the consumer masses, for the ages. Able to be transported easily and better, able to be consumed wherever a source of water could be found. Just mix, stir and enjoy.

Ooooh! Ahhh! Yum!

Who will be this Einstein of Beer? And when?

A Nobel Prize for Beer Science awaits you, O Great One!
