A New Era for Drinks
Each year, billions of liters of beer are shipped across the globe, with 8.4 billion liters transported in 2020 alone. Remarkably, over 90% of this volume is water - water that could be sourced locally, straight from the tap. Imagine the environmental and economic impact if we only shipped what isn't available locally: the flavors.
Bar.on presents a groundbreaking solution to this challenge. By leveraging their innovative technology, high-quality flavors and aromas are combined with alcohol and locally sourced and filtered water, producing beer on the spot, dramatically reducing shipping volumes and costs. This not only cuts down on carbon emissions associated with global transportation, but also aligns perfectly with a more sustainable and efficient future for the beverage industry in general.
Additionally, Bar.on's dispensing technology revolutionizes beverage distribution. By allowing beers to be produced locally, their composition can be adapted in real-time to match customer preferences. This approach is particularly advantageous for non-alcoholic beer, as the absence of alcohol from the start enables Bar.on to control aroma and taste far better than traditional brewing methods.
In terms of sustainability, since Bar.on's draft machines mix ingredients on-site, the need for pre-packaged beverages is eliminated and single-use packaging waste is significantly reduced.
In summary, Bar.on addresses the industry's challenge of creating superior non-alcoholic beer that is more affordable, sustainable and customizable to consumer tastes.
Digital Beverage Enterprise
Bar.on revolutionizes beer production by instantly mixing components, building aroma and taste from the ground up, bypassing a lengthy brewing process and achieving superior results much faster than conventional methods. Bar.on’s innovative approach not only simplifies the production process, but also significantly reduces the environmental impact associated with shipping billions of liters of beer globally each year. Bar.on’s technology allows for the creation of high-quality, customizable beverages that are more sustainable and cost-effective.
Bar.on has successfully built the first prototypes of innovative beer printers, known as OneTap. These prototypes have demonstrated the viability of Bar.on’s technology, which instantly crafts beer by mixing components on demand.
Additionally, Bar.on's technology facilitates easy addition of functionality and full customization to meet consumer preferences. As soon as drinks become digitized, Bar.on will gain valuable data on drinking behaviors and appetites, enhancing the ability to cater to consumer needs. Bar.on’s non-alcoholic beers promise to closely match the taste of traditional alcoholic beers, potentially encouraging reduced alcohol consumption over time.
The next phase in Bar.on’s development process focuses on finalizing the OneTap Pro, a professional-grade device designed for use in bars, restaurants, and events. The OneTap Pro will not only offer a wide range of beverages, but also allow for extensive personalization, setting it apart from traditional options such as cans, bottles or kegs.
