Thermoformed Beer Concentrates

The Foxboro Western Brewing Beer is Thickened For Customization

— August 11, 2016 — Lifestyle
The Foxboro Western Brew is a formulated beer concentrate that is designed to allow consumers to customize their own blends and is conveniently packaged in a single-serve format. The concentrate is a thickened version of lager that is reduced down to a potent liquid. Carbonated liquid can be added to each blend in order to produce a fully consumable beer beverage.

The Western Brew is reduced to a thick flavoring paste that is then packaged in a squeezable pouch. Consumers can blend the beer to their liking, relying on the different varieties designed by Foxboro as a starting point. The liquid is specially designed and heat-treated to react to carbonated water, to create a fully alcoholic beverage. The packaging style serves on-the-go mixology for parties, events and even camping.

A set of the Western Brew is available in packages of four servings.
