I wonder what's going to happen if you stuff all the dry beer ingredients in your mouth? Would you turn into a foam spitting monster, a rabid-looking human? Read along, and you'll know what I'm talking about:

Packets of Instant Beer Are Now a Thing

One Pixel Video Game Rises from RGB Button Hardware
One pixel video game is my type of video game. That's about all I need in that realm... High quality graphics an' all...
