Sparkling water maker SodaStream has released a new home beer system, the Beer Bar, that enables the creation of home-crafted beer in seconds.
The beer is created by combining sparkling water and a beer concentrate, and the first product to roll off the SodaStream production line is a light beer called Blondie that has a smooth authentic taste, and a hop filled aroma, according to its maker.
A one litre of Blondie bottle yields approximately three litres of beer with a 4.5% alcohol by volume, the average level found in most global beer brands.
"We are excited to launch a brand dedicated to serving the global growing trend of home crafted beer," SodaStream Australia managing director Mark Fenton says.
"Our core carbonation technology and distribution infrastructure provide a great platform for us to extend our business into this emerging category, and we choose to do so with a dedicated beer brand."
The Beer Bar is currently only available in Switzerland and Germany but it will launch in other markets from late 2016 and throughout 2017.
