Belgian beverage start-up Bar.on has unveiled the world’s first molecular beer printer, capable of producing a wide range of beers in seconds.
The printer uses molecular-level flavour compounds to allow for customised adjustments in alcohol percentage, bitterness, fruitiness, sweetness and spices, enabling users to create personalised beers to their exact preferences.
The One Tap prototype developed by Bar.on offers an extensive selection of beer styles, including blond, brown, IPA and triple, along with high-quality non-alcoholic variants. This versatility provides users with the freedom to enjoy a wide range of beers tailored to their taste preferences, whether in the comfort of their homes or at a bar.
Bar.on emphasises that its flavour compounds are derived from natural sources, with many already employed in conventional brewing processes. However, the One Tap beer printer distinguishes itself by eliminating the need for fermentation and minimising the transportation of finished products, helping to reduce ecological footprint and transport costs. Bar.on also aims to minimise waste by adopting minimal packaging, while also maximising water efficiency by using locally sourced tap water.
Initial molecular beer recipes developed by Bar.on have shown promising results in blind taste tests, presenting new possibilities for beer enthusiasts to enjoy customised brews in a sustainable way.
