We taught AI how to brew beer 🍻

Here’s a cool story for your Thursday…

(tl;dr: we taught AI how to brew beer 🍺)

We recently teamed up with The Bruery, a company of awesome craft beer innovators, and they threw us a curveball:

Could we use AI to whip up a winning beer recipe?

Challenge accepted! 

We rolled up our sleeves and dove into The Bruery's treasure trove of brewing data from 2020 to 2023. We're talking recipes, brewing logs, the whole nine yards.

We got our AI models to play judge, predicting taste scores and dreaming up recipes that beer-enthusiasts would love.

A few rounds (of testing AND of beer) later and..

We hit the jackpot with A.I.P.A., a West Coast Double IPA receiving rave reviews.

Our AI model actually brewed a craft beer that the people love 🙌

But this isn't just about brewing a great beer (though that's pretty sweet).

It's an example of how AI can transform product development, spark creativity, and shake things up in industries you'd never expect.

We learned a few lessons during this project that any business can apply:

1. Your old data is a gold mine waiting to be tapped for innovation.
   

2. AI isn't here to steal jobs. It's more like a super-smart sidekick, boosting what humans can do.
   

3. AI isn't just for tech. It can bring a creative twist to pretty much any industry out there.

If you’re thinking through ways that your business can better leverage AI, start by assessing your unique data assets.

Begin with a focused project, but consider its broader implications.
