Why are we here?
- We tend to forget that the most iconic craft beers have been brewed in a garage or at home first, before they become widely available. MiniBrew is here to bring back the optimism to help other create iconic beers.
- At MiniBrew, a team of pioneers work at the intersection of technology and brewing to create the ultimate beer experience. The team believes in removing complexity and eliminating bottles and cans to reduce CO2 with 1/3 compared to big beer. The vision is large as MiniBrew is doing for beer what Dyson did for Vacuums and what Nest did for Homes. Rethinking technology and connectivity for better results
- In you wondering, what if they guys are no longer there, rest assured we make the software open-source so you can continue to realise your dreams.
