Introducing - the Picobrewery

We've all heard of the microbrewery.  

Originating in England, these smaller brewing operations exploded in popularity in the US during the 1990’s.  Newly relaxed laws on smaller-scale beer production both satisfied and kindled a desire for something outside the mass-marketed, some would say bland, beers of the time. Many of these smaller, independent brewers gave rise to the modern craft brewery movement, focusing on experimentation, quality and diversity rather than volume. Good? Sure. New? Please. Microbreweries are old news. 

You may have even heard of the nanobrewery, 1/1000th the size of a microbrewery.  A brewery making very small batches, able to experiment and push boundaries, and cater to local tastes.  It’s the greatest, most personal beer experience, right?  Is it still 2008?  No, it’s not.  Old news.   

Now introducing – the Picobrewery.  Unsurpassed in attention to detail, in craftsmanship, in the experiential quality of product. 

The Picobrewery. Only at Sleepy Bear Brewing. 

Most places in the US these days, you can’t throw a stick without hitting a microbrewery.  Or rather, can’t throw a stick without knocking a hipster off his barstool. He was occupying your seat at a microbrewery while you went to the can.  There’s nothing new at a microbrewery. 

You haven’t experienced beer until you’ve experienced – the Picobrewery. 

Using the modern tools of science – galvanometric assays, gene-sequencing of organic ingredients, microfluidic nanomachines for precise adjunct additions down to the picomole. Even the gravitational effects of the brewer’s body have been factored into our advanced digital mathematical models.  Individually crafted beer matched perfectly to the biometrics, the preferences, the very genetics of the beer fan.

They say our supercomputers burn through a barrel of oil (Barrel of oil energy equivalent, BoE) for every barrel of beer we make. Just to run the our digital algorithms, not to fire the burner.  

Why waste it mining Bitcoins? Beer.
