The company is set to debut its HomeBrew system at CES 2019. It's a capsule-based beer-making machine that relies on automation and fermentation algorithms, and is completely self-cleaning, so it's a seriously fuss-free way of brewing your own beer. Depending on the beer type (there are five: American IPA, American Pale Ale, English Stout, Witbier and Czech Pilsner), the system can produce up to five liters of beer in about two weeks -- you can check on its status at any time using the companion app for iOS and Android.

    Don't know about the craft beers, but pommy beer is generally a bit stronger than cheap american piss. Some of theirs go up to 8 or 10% alcohol.

    There's lots of very good American beers. But be careful when comparing alcohol percentages. Most beer in the US is marked measuring alcohol by weight (ABW); in much of the rest of the world beer is marked muasuring alcohol by volume (ABV). ABV numbers are higher than ABW by about 25% for a given amount of alcohol in beer, which leaves many people (erroneously) believing that American beers have less alcohol than beer found elsewhere.
