PicoBrew Nears $1 Million In Crowdfunding For Beer Brewing Robot

Seattle-based PicoBrew, the startup which develops gadgets which automatically help people brew their own, craft beers at home, is nearing almost $1 million in crowdfunding. As of Wednesday morning, the company's new craft beer making machine, the Pico, had racked up more than $922,000 in commitments to fund the new, $499 device. The new device takes pre-packaged ingredients from a wide range of craft breweries, and turns them into very specific craft beers for users, in their own kitchen. PicoBrew's new Pico is not the company's first beer brewing robot: the company already makes a much more expensive, $1999 device called the Zymatic, which also can be used to craft beers at home.
