Company Summary

Opportunity

Beer is American drinkers’ beverage of choice, with 43% of Americans who drink alcohol preferring beer over liquor or wine. In 2015, U.S. beer sales totaled $105.9 billion.ⁱⁱⁱ Although Americans prefer beer, it is hard to get the same smooth straight-from-the-draught taste at home from a hand pour.

Fizzics is a universal beer dispenser that delivers a fresh-from-the-tap experience from any can, bottle, or growler. Enjoying an expertly poured, quality draft beer is no longer limited to high-end craft beer bars. Fizzics’ portable beer device is engineered through hard science and technology to stimulate the consumer’s sense of smell and taste, making any store-bought beer taste better.

Product

The Original Fizzics Beer System (pictured below) is compatible with cans and bottles of all sizes and can accommodate up to a 64-ounce growler.

The newer Fizzics Waytap is a modern and compact design that takes up less counter/bar space and is more portable than the Original Fizzics. Waytap fits up to a 25-ounce can or a 12-ounce bottle and comes in three colors: Black, White, and Slate Grey. The Original Fizzics Beer System retails for $169.99 and the Fizzics Waytap retails for $129.99 on Fizzics’ website. Fizzics also sells ancillary items, including a carry case ($35), beer glasses (set of 6 for $25), a branded growler ($25) and a aluminum tap handle ($25).
