It allows them to bring the experience of the bar into the home with a [counter-friendly appliance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trust-bars) that doesn't take up too much space in the kitchen. Designed by St. Louis-based Steve Young, the Synek Draft System is a great alternative to temporary kegs. Mashable writes that its "like a [Keurig](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connected-coffee-machine), but for beer." The sleek outer shell houses a patent-pended vacuum-sealed, UV protected bag that can hold up to 30PSI while maintaining quality for months. It can also hold any [draft beer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-draught-cocktails), which is chilled and pressurized, for individual preferences. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% 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) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **At-home Draft Systems:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating compact, user-friendly at-home draft systems. - **Technology-infused Beer Appliances:** Innovative potential in developing beer appliances that use advanced technology to enhance the home beer pouring experience. - **Vacuum-sealed Beer Storage:** Potential for disruptive innovation in creating vacuum-sealed beer storage solutions that maintain quality for extended periods. ### Where This Applies - **Home Appliance Industry:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the home appliance industry by designing compact and efficient beer dispensing systems. - **Beer Industry:** Potential for disruptive innovation in the beer industry by creating technology-infused appliances that cater to the at-home beer experience. - **Food and Beverage Storage Industry:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the food and beverage storage industry by developing vacuum-sealed beer storage solutions that provide extended freshness. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Branded Countertop Beer Taps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guinness-microdraught.md) - [Ultrasonic At-Home Beer Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guinness-microdraught-20.md) - [Portable Draft Beer Kegerators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kombi-cool-tap.md) - [Smart Beer Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-beer-maker.md) - [Automated Beer-Brewing Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-brewing-machine.md) - [AI-Powered Beverage Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pubinno-1.md) - [Molecular Beer Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/molecular-beer-printer.md) - [Self-Service Beer Taprooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beer-taproom.md) - [At-Home Kombucha Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kombu.md)
