    I'll pass. Can't imagine this will be any better than bud light

    I will definitely try this seeing as I already have a sodastream. If anyone is wondering I did the google translate of the products on the website. Here they are:

    The one liter bottle:
    The refreshingly different way to drink beer!

    Your benefits: ## seconds freshly prepared
    ## Just 1 part mix Blondie + 2 parts water
    ## 1 liter, sufficient for 3 liters Pils
    ## Does alcohol (4,5% in the finished drink)
    ## Sales only to persons over 16 years

    2.99 Euros

    ---------------------------------------------------------

    The Gift Set
    The ideal gift for those who already own a water bubbler!

    The gift box contains ## 1 x 1 liter of beer concentrate
    ## 1 liter sufficient for 3 liters Pils
    ## Does alcohol (4,5% in the finished drink)
    ## 2 x 0.2 liters Blondie Beer glasses
    ## Set in attractive gift packaging
    ## Sales only to persons over 16 years

    9.99 Euros


    If this is even remotely drinkable, I would call it a small victory. I would have ordered some to try it out, but I have to wait until it can be delivered outside of Germany.

    All in all, I don't think this is a horrible idea, but it has its limitations. Curious to see how this takes off and/or dies.

    Jesus, you have to listen to a Blondie mixtape too?! This does sound like a horrible product.

    I have a hard time thinking of anything made from concentrate is ever good. OK, except for Gatorade powder. And Fun Dip. That stuff was incredible.

    Hmmmmmm....

    seems weird to be honest.
    Might end up tasting weird, too, but I don't know yet.

    Can confirm, my first homebrew made me want to curl up under the stairs and cry.
