Finally, A Keurig For Beer
It’s about damn time. Ladies everywhere basically worship their Keurigs, and now I see why they adore them so much. Any draft beer at the tips of my fingers? Wherever I can find an electrical outlet? Sign me the fuck up. A startup, SYNEK, has created this magical piece of machinery.
From Kickstarter:
SYNEK is a draft system that serves any beer, fresh from the tap, anywhere you want it. Imagine, for a moment, that you could have access to every beer in the world fresh from the tap. Your favorite local brewery, your best friend’s homebrew, or an international favorite…all available to you wherever and whenever you want it. SYNEK has turned that vision into a reality.
This isn’t your typical kegerator you have on your kitchen counter. You can place multiple types of beer in it and select which one you want.
The draft beer game is about to change for the better. I’m going to buy five of them, because why the fuck not? I suggest you do the same–$299 is cheap. Also, you have to give this guy a little credit for the video. It’s very reminiscent of the masterpiece of marketing that is the Dollar Shave Club video. Speaking of which, one of you geniuses out there needs to set up a monthly subscription service for when this SYNEK becomes as common an appliance as your refrigerator. Any beer, delivered to your door, with a machine that has the technology to make your beer like it’s fresh from the brewery? Sign me up for 10 percent royalties and beer for life, and the idea is yours. You’re welcome.

This invention is basically useless. The only thing it does is replace a growler and make it last slightly longer, which let’s be real isn’t really an issue. Beer from a tap isn’t usually as good as beer from a bottle, just pour it in a glass.
10 years ago at 5:44 pm“In Charles Bamforth’s book Beer Is Proof God Loves Us, the professor of malting and brewing sciences at UC Davis was asked by a reporter, “If there are 50 beers on tap, what do you order?” His defiant answer was, “Something out of a bottle.”
Bamforth backs up his decision by citing all the things that often go wrong with beer in a tap system: staleness; bacterial infection because of unclean lines leading to things like diacetyl (a compound that causes beer to smell like butterscotch or buttered popcorn).”
We get it

10 years ago at 4:52 amReal talk, the Keurig is good for hangover coffee.
10 years ago at 8:40 amI won my keurig as a door prize. Considered re-gifting it, but I’m glad that I decided to keep it. If someone gave me this thing, I’d probably use it as a wedding gift or graduation present.

The only practical use for guys like us is a personal Synek in your room that you fill with 11 craft beers with an 8-10% ABV and don’t share much of.
