Wanna suck beer out of a tube?

I guess bottles and cans are passé.

It looks like something an astronaut would use. Oddly, I picture an astronaut wearing a John Deere hat and with a big ol’ gut.

Of course, it also looks like the juice pouches my kids occasionally have.

BeerPaQ from the Beverage Pouch Group

The CarboPouch™ development allows craft draft beer brewers to fill on-site, a clean, ready-to-go Single45™ or Single25™ pouch with spout and cap. Storage and shelf-life requires refrigeration. Low-carbonated water and shelf-stable energy drinks can also be filled. The organoleptic film structure ensures no off flavor. The patented film structure is designed to handle the pouch “stretch” after filling and carbonation expansion. The automatic filling process is such that there is no headspace after filling. The three-side seal pouch has a smooth side comfort grip feature. The combination of these factors makes the CarboPouch™ a true economical innovation for distribution of craft draft beers to the consumer’s home. Sports functions now have a package!

The capacity of the Single45™ pouch is 16 oz. and the Single25™ capacity is 8 oz. StandUp Multi64™ (1.8 liter capacity) pouches are suitable for outdoor activities. Patent # 60,691,088

Would you drink beer out of that?
