SodaStream Launches Homemade Beer System

SodaStream International Ltd. (SODA), the leading global manufacturer and distributor of Sparkling Water Makers, has announced the release of its new home beer system, the Beer Bar. The brand is an exciting concept of making quality home-crafted beer using sparkling water and a unique beer concentrate brewed to perfection.

The Beer Bar is unveiled with a light beer called Blondie that has a smooth authentic taste, and a hop filled aroma. The Beer Bar enables consumers to concoct crafted beer in seconds by adding Blondie concentrate to Sparkling Water. Blondie contains 4.5% alcohol by volume, the average level found in most global beer brands. A one liter Blondie bottle yields approximately three liters of beer.

"We are excited to launch a brand dedicated to serving the global growing trend of home crafted beer," says Daniel Birnbaum, Chief Executive Officer of SodaStream. "Our core carbonation technology and distribution infrastructure provide a great platform for us to extend our business into this emerging category, and we choose to do so with a dedicated beer brand."

SodaStream chose to first launch the Beer Bar in some of Europe's beer capitals. The product is available in SodaStream Germany's online store www.sodastream.de and at leading retailers in Switzerland. Other markets are expected to launch the Beer Bar in late 2016 and 2017.
