Pinter: The Award-Winning Home Brewing System Changing the Game

A Fresh Take on Brewing Recognized Worldwide

When TIME Magazine named Pinter one of the Best Inventions of 2020, it marked the start of a brewing revolution. The first-generation Pinter turned home brewing into a clean, easy, and rewarding experience.

Instead of messy setups and inconsistent results, Pinter offered something new: a compact, all-in-one brewing system that lets anyone make 12 pints of fresh, flavorful beer in just over a week. The idea quickly captured the imagination of beer lovers everywhere and global recognition soon followed.

Red Dot Award: Celebrating World-Class Product Design

In 2024, the current iteration of the Pinter device received one of the design world’s highest honors, the Red Dot Award for Product Design.

Chosen by an international panel of experts, Red Dot winners are recognized for aesthetics, innovation, functionality, ergonomics, and ecological impact. Pinter 3 impressed the judges with its sleek form, smart engineering, and everyday usability.

Highlights include the Active Pour Tap, which ensures a perfect serve from first pint to last, and a durable, pressure-resistant polymer design that balances performance with safety.

Co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer Alex Dixon called it “a proud moment for the business,” crediting the Product Development team’s dedication and creativity. The award placed Pinter alongside global design leaders and reaffirmed its mission to make fresh brewing a joy for everyone.
