If you love an ice-cold pint of beer all of your dreams may have just come true.
You can now forget heading to the local for an overpriced ale by simply turning your tap water into beer.
The classic Sodastream has just been transformed into a mini brewery thanks to the launch of a new Beer Bar kit.
The Beer Bar enables you to create crafted beer in seconds by simply adding a unique Blondie concentrate to Sparkling Water.
And the best part is, you can brew three litres of lager for around £2.

How much does that translate into dollars in terms of pints?
Although there's no official date for a UK launch it's expected to arrive in other countries by the end of this year.
WHEN does it arrive in the USA?
As brewing is a hobby of my son and I and we’re well versed in the work it takes, I don’t believe this stuff would be worth a cup of warm spit.
In time for back to school sales?
It’ll probably appeal to the light beer crowd.
I knew it.
6 pints for around $3.
"I like caramel and crunchy stuff!"
A pound is roughly $1.45. So say $3.00 for for roughly 3 quarts, or a dollar a quart. Roughly (lots of rounding up and down to get here - 50 cents a pint.
Makes more economic sense than the soft drinks did, but who wants a Blonde beer.
Mmmmm...
Warm spit.
Why? You don’t think a craft beer aged for two minutes would taste too good? LOL!
(been home brewing for 15+ years, here)
Stuff has to age and mellow and ferment and all that. It,would be interesting to see how beer drinkers thought this tasted against their regular beers.
As with the vapor cigs, the government will figure out a way to tax it at the going rate.
“...stuff would be worth a cup of warm spit.”
The spittoon
Two drunks are sitting in a bar and one drunk says to the other, “I’ll give you fithty dollars if you drink that spittoon.” The other drunk gets up and looks into the spittoon and says, “Nooo way.” After a couple more drinks the first drunk says, “I’ll give you a hhhundred dollars if you drink that spittoon.” The second drunk gets up, goes over and smells the spittoon and says, “Nnno.” Finally the first drunk offers $250. The second drunk goes over and looks at it, gets down on his knees and smells it, and agrees to drink the spittoon. He sets it down in front of him on the bar and after taking a few deep breaths he picks it up and starts drinking it down. The first drunk says that that’s enough but the second drunk won’t stop and keeps slurping it down. He tells him to stop again because he is making him sick, and still he keeps slurping it down. Finally he tells him to stop or he will not get his money and he slams the spittoon down on the bar. The first drunk says, “Why didn’t you stop when I asked you to? You were making me sick!” He replies, “It was one looong strand!”
Just use guiness as the flavoring and get bud light out of the spigot...
Or ban it.
I can’t believe it’s unlawful to vape in an outdoor arena in California.
They mention tap water.
Most tap water is Terrible - city heavily clorinated, and many wells have hard water.
No thanks.
Will stick with good “micro” brew, brew (Stone, Long trail, Fat tire, Yingling, etc)
What I want to know is when will they be able to turn water into wine? Not to get all biblical here.....
Ugh, 70’s memories of Automat Sanka coffee.
Agreed - terrible stuff!
Good beer FR handle name.
Sam Adams has some decent brew.
I thought Miller Light WAS tap water.
