The iPad of Brewing
Tasting beer might sound like a fun thing to do as a job. Although 3,200 tastings later,* you might be a wee bit over it.
Luckily, Anders Warn and Ian Williams quite like beer. And they like inventing stuff. When Ian’s Uncle Wayne challenged them to help him do something about his self-described ‘terrible’ home brew, they invented a new type of machine (as you do?!), a piece of home-brewing genius like we’ve never seen before.
Mates since school, Ian and Anders studied food technology together at Massey, and put their knowledge of food technology, engineering and design (and, er, beer) together. The result is a relatively-compact beautifully-designed machine that creates a very drinkable amber liquid in only seven days. It’s the iPad of brewing!
And unlike Uncle Wayne’s beer, the world is queuing for a taste (although of course you won’t be, because you’re probably under-age). People are queuing up from around the world to get their hands on one.
*(This is not an exaggeration. They did have to do about that many tastings of the beer before they got it right!).
