Capable of incorporating three growlers of beer into the dispenser, the 'Growler Chill' keeps them all perfectly chilled, protected from oxygen and ready for pouring. Craft beer and homebrew beer have become quite popular amongst beer drinkers who are looking for a more flavorful, local way to enjoy the libation. The 'Growler Chill' beer tap acts as a great way to keep them ready to dispense without requiring drinkers to finish the bottle once it's open in order to maintain the [carbonation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerflo-for-hydro-flask). The 'Growler Chill' [connects to your smartphone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allcom-smart-tumbler) to let you know how much beer is left in each growler and features a digital display on the front of the appliance for detailing pertinent information. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/kitchen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Digital Countertop Beer Taps:** The 'Growler Chill' revolutionizes the craft beer industry by keeping growlers perfectly chilled and carbonated, allowing for extended enjoyment without sacrificing quality. - **Homebrewing:** As homebrewing and craft beer continue to gain popularity, the 'Growler Chill' provides a convenient and innovative way to store and dispense these unique brews. - **Internet of Things (iot):** By connecting to smartphones and featuring a digital display, the 'Growler Chill' demonstrates the potential for IoT in the beverage industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beverage Dispensing:** The 'Growler Chill' presents a disruptive opportunity to innovate the beverage dispensing industry for home and commercial use. - **Smart Home Appliances:** The integration of smartphone connectivity and smart digital displays in the 'Growler Chill' displays the potential for technological advancements in home appliances. - **Craft Beer:** The 'Growler Chill' taps into the craft beer industry, potentially transforming the way these unique brews are stored and enjoyed. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Branded Countertop Beer Taps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guinness-microdraught.md) - [At-Home Beer Keg Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/athome-beer-keg-machine.md) - [Smart Beer Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-beer-maker.md) - [Insulated Craft Beer Growlers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wren-offroad-growler.md) - [Ultrasonic At-Home Beer Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guinness-microdraught-20.md) - [Self-Service Beer Taprooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beer-taproom.md) - [Automated Beer-Brewing Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-brewing-machine.md) - [Grill-Inspired Beer Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miller-lite-big-green-kegg.md) - [AI-Powered Beverage Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pubinno-1.md)
