I’m still trying to get it sunk into my head the differences between this and a Q trip. One is the cooler of beer we will be able to tote along. (OK, get it over. Call me a tourist now)

IF, it was PRACTICAL a lot of us would be hauling beer into the BW/Q ;) ;)
Having a ice cold beer with your fish dinner would be a real treat!!
I have a brother-in-law who spends a lot of time in the far east for business.
He told me awhile back that the Asians had developed a technique for putting alcohol into a "gelatin" capsule for freeze dried asian foods??
They also were working on a "freeze dried" beer??
He's never heard anymore about it, but if it could be worked out and was half-way decent, i could see "micro-brewing" your way across the BW/Q ;) ;)!!

I'm not even a big "drinker" but it's hard to beat a cold fresh brewed beer after a long day fishing and paddling ;D ;D!!
