Enjoy brewery-fresh beers from the comfort of your kitchen
with Synek, the sweet looking draught dispenser built for the amateur
beer connossieur. The table-top machine is designed to
replace growlers, the big jugs used to store take-home craft beer from
local breweries. Beer stored in growlers has a notoriously low
life-span, but the Synek beer dispenser promises to keep your brew cold
and fresh for over a month.
"It's got the convenience of a
coffee machine, the volume of two growlers, the spirit of a falcon, and
all the variety you've ever wanted," says Steve Young, creator of
Synek. "No expensive machinery, no kegging cost, no
inconvenience - just access to the world's freshest craft beer wherever
and whenever you like."
The Synek comes with a
vacuum-sealed bag to store your beer, which the machine then dispenses
when you're thirsting for some fine brewed hops. Would-be
barmen will be glad to hear the machine has temperature control
options, and plugs into a standard mains socket. We're not saying you
can bring this thing into work and kickstart an impromptu office
beer-fest, but it's definitely an option to consider.
For now, Synek is just a humble Kickstarter project,
with a target of $250,000 and 21 days left to make the cash. It's not
bad going right now though, with backers putting up a sizeable $161K so
far.
For $1 funding, you can choose what Synek calls the
"cheap bastard" option, where the company will update you on the
project's progress. If you actually want a home draught dispenser
though, you'll have to shell out $299, which equates to about £175 of
our finest British sterling.
