Make Your Growler Last Longer with New Keurig-Like Synek Machine

Any beer, ever made, fresh from your counter. Imagine that!

SYNEK is trying to make this dream a reality with a tap machine that uses vacuum-sealed cartridges to keep up to a gallon of beer fresh for at least 30 days. (Think of it as a Keurig for beer lovers.) Like kegs, the machine pressurizes using carbon dioxide. Users can also adjust the temperature of the SYNEK, chilling their brew to their own preferences.

“It’s about giving the tools to the home and craft brewers to help spread their creation and make more money while doing it,” Young said in a statement. “The best beer deserves to reach the consumer in the freshest form possible.”

Given the shelf life of most growlers, according to a recent blog written by Iron Hill Brewery, this machine could change the way you drink beer. No more worrying about consuming your brew within 48 hours. Bring your growler home, pour it into the SYNEK and you’re good for a month. Bonus: The SYNEK holds two growlers’ worth of beer!

Founder Steve Young is currently looking for crowd funding via SYNEK’s Kickstarter page. Get in on the deal and pre-order yours for $299 (cost will be $349 when the machine comes to market). Follow SYNEK on Facebook and Twitter for breaking info, and look for the first batch of SYNEKs to be available in early 2015.
