Indeokeg Wins CES 2021 Innovation Award for 2 Consecutive Years

Homebrew Beer Maker for Household Use 'Indeokeg Home'

[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] InderKeg, a company that develops and sells craft beer brewing equipment, announced on the 21st that it won the Innovation Award at CES2021, the world's largest consumer electronics show.

Following its Innovation Awards in two categories (Home Appliances, Drones & Unmanned) for B2B (business-to-business) products at CES2020 last year, this time it won the Innovation Award for two consecutive years with its B2C (business-to-consumer) product, ‘InderKeg Home’.

‘InderKeg Home’ inherits the basic operating principles and key differentiators of the previously CES-awarded B2B product. Just as the currently sold B2B product ferments and matures wort contained in an 18ℓ dedicated smart keg within a week to provide beer, the B2C product also ferments and matures wort in a 5ℓ dedicated smart keg within a week to provide beer.

The biggest difference between the two products is their intended use and capacity for commercial and home use. The B2B product can connect up to 10 units of the 18ℓ smart keg, allowing the production of up to 180 liters of 10 different types of beer. In contrast, the B2C product can connect up to 4 units of the 5ℓ smart keg, enabling the simultaneous production of 4 different types of beer totaling up to 20 liters.

Additionally, it retains the core functions of the B2B product, such as the smart infusing method that allows enjoying various flavors, device operation through a control pad, and beer status monitoring.

‘InderKeg Home’ is currently under mass production development aiming for release next year, and the exhibited product is at the prototype stage. The final mass-produced product concept applies modular technology, making it easy to change design, capacity, and other features according to market conditions and consumer analysis results in each release country.

Meanwhile, InderKeg has been building its image as an innovation icon in the craft beer industry by continuously winning awards in various fields, including the Excellent Design (GD) award hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Invention Patent Exhibition award hosted by the Korean Intellectual Property Office, following its CES2020 Innovation Award last year.

Kang Tae-il, CEO of InderKeg, stated, "With the acceleration of the untact trend, the demand for safely and easily enjoying beer at home is expected to increase steadily, and we anticipate that the launch of InderKeg’s B2C product will bring about a revolutionary change in beer consumption culture."
