This machine lets you turn water into beer at home
Real hipsters don’t just hunt for vintage beer, they make their own, and that just got a lot easier with the debut of the Beer Bar.
Created by Israel-based SodaStream Interntional, the device allows users to add sparkling water to a special beer concentrate formula (called "Blondie") to create beer at home. The end product has 4.5% alcohol content and supposedly looks and tastes like any normal beer you'd buy in the store or at a bar.

"Our core carbonation technology and distribution infrastructure provide a great platform for us to extend our business into this emerging category, and we choose to do so with a dedicated beer brand," said Daniel Birnbaum, the CEO of SodaStream, in a statement released by the company.
If this all sounds too good to be true, you need only check out the company's videos (below) for its sparkling water maker system that demonstrates how they transform tap water into carbonated water.
Nevertheless, even if the system works as promised, that's no guarantee that it will be a hit, as beer aficionados tend to be incredibly picky about the taste of their beer (in many cases, their attention to detail is not unlike that of a wine connoisseur).
However, the makers of the Beer Bar are taking it slow in terms of roll out, as it will first only be available from the company's Germany website and various brick and mortar retailers in Switzerland. But beer fans won't have long to wait, because the Beer Bar is slated to come to additional markets in late 2016 and 2017.
