Transformative Beer-Making Machines

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Beer Bar Turns Sparkling Water into Home-Crafted Beer

— June 1, 2016 — Art & Design
SodaStream has expanded beyond cola with the introduction of a new product called 'The Beer Bar.' With the rise of craft brewing, many consumers have become interested in the process of making beer at home. This device simplifies the home-brewing experience so that more people can enjoy home-crafted beer.

The Beer Bar is a carbonator that is designed to turn sparkling water into a beer concentrate. The beer produced by the machine has been dubbed 'Blondie' and it is described as having "a smooth authentic taste and a hop filled aroma." The home-brewing machine is similar to products such as the PicoBrew, which uses pre-packaged pods to make home-crafted beer.

While only available in Germany and Switzerland, the at-home brewing machine gives consumers an easy way to experiment with the process of making beer at home.

1. Home Brewing Machines - The rise of craft brewing has created an opportunity for home brewing machines to simplify the beer-making process for consumers.
2. Carbonation Technology - Carbonation technology advancements are enabling the transformation of sparkling water into beer concentrate, providing convenient options for home-crafted beer.
3. Pod-based Brewing Systems - Pod-based brewing systems, like The Beer Bar and PicoBrew, offer a simplified and streamlined approach to making beer at home, showcasing the potential for innovation in the home brewing industry.
Industry Implications
1. Craft Brewing - Craft brewing industry can embrace home brewing machines as an opportunity to attract more consumers and expand their customer base.
2. Carbonated Beverages - The carbonated beverages industry can explore the potential of carbonation technology to diversify their product offerings and meet consumer demands for convenient, home-crafted options.
3. Appliances & Kitchenware - The appliances and kitchenware industry can tap into the market for pod-based brewing systems, presenting opportunities for innovative home brewing appliances that cater to consumer preferences.
