“LOCAL BEER IS THE BEST BEER BECAUSE IT’S FRESH.” Craig Christian, Rooftop Brew Co. At PicoBrew, we love craft beer, and we want everyone to be able to drink fresh and local— wherever they are. We love the art of crafting craft beer, too, and with that in mind, began our company to share that joy with you. With the help of the Pico family, Model C and Pro, it’s easier than ever for you to brew a wide variety of craft beers, from light lagers to big stouts and everything in between, right in your own kitchen. More than 200 breweries worldwide have joined us on our quest to spread the love for local craft beer, providing the inspiration and recipes for PicoPaks—ingredient kits containing fresh, all-natural grains, hops and yeast. Choose these, or create your own using our FreeStyle option. We took care of the science so you can focus on the art. Craft beer your way. 02

FRESHNESS MATTERS The next best thing to a just-tapped keg of beer from
your local brew house is that beer, freshly PicoBrewed by you, from the comfort of your home. Fresh, natural ingredients, including grains, hops, and yeast, produce the quality, craft beer you’re craving. Our PicoPaks, developed in partnership with more than 200 breweries worldwide, bring hundreds of special brews to you.
011
BACK TO BASICS Simplify your brewing with PicoPaks. 1.
Insert the PicoPak into your Pico. The machine reads the RIFD tag, and recipe controls, which guide the brewing process, are downloaded automatically via WiFi.
2. Add water to the Pico’s reservoir and Brew Keg, and then, hit “Start.” 3. If you prefer your beer to be higher or lower in ABV or IBUs, use the “Customize” function. 4. After a 2-hour brewing cycle, your beer will ferment for about a week. Carbonate, chill, and serve.

CUSTOMIZE For your hop heads and malt maniacs
who may have once thought, “That beer’s awesome, but what would happen if I did this?” Use the Pico to tweak your favorite brewery’s recipes by punching up or lowering the ABV (alcohol percentage) and IBUs (bitterness units). What if you want to get really crazy creative? We build it, you brew it.

FREESTYLE RECIPE CRAFTER We make it easier for you to be on your
way to Master Brewer status. Adjust the grains and hops to your specifications, and BrewCrafter will predict the characteristics of your beer. Submit the recipe to us, and we’ll build a PicoPak just for you and ship it right to your door.

KOMBUCHA, TOO The Pico family doesn’t just brew—it
produces a different kind of healthy beverage, too. Kombucha, “the tea of immortality,” a centuries-old fermented drink, not only takes good, it packs a probiotic punch. Drinking kombucha regularly is said to boost immunity and aid digestion by feeding your stomach flora. We crafted KombuchaPaks with wellness in mind. Choose from refreshing classic lemon or peppery ginger, and look for more flavors coming soon. 023
SOUS VIDE Expand your culinary repertoire.. As if endless fresh craft beer wasn’t enough, the Pico machines also come with a sous-vide adaptor for the step filter so you can precision-cook vegetables, eggs, fish and meat to perfection.

PICO STILL
$349 MSRP
Still with us? Great, because there is even more you can do with your Pico. PicoStill is the ultimate addon accessory for homebrewers and licensed craft distillers alike.
Professional distillers use PicoStill for safe and controlled small-batch distillation of spirits like vodka, whiskey, bourbon, gin, moonshine, brandies, schnapps and more. Mixologists take the craft a step further with essential oils distilled from citrus, botanicals and other aromatics. PicoStill features a large infusion chamber that is crucial for essential oil extraction, but it is also helpful for designing flavored spirits.
Homebrewers and professional breweries open another realm of possibilities by distilling their own essential oils. Bakers, gourmet food makers, and cocktail enthusiasts can deeply imbue food and beverages with unique and unexpected flavors.
Not a licensed distiller? The PicoStill can produce 2-3 oz. of water-extracted hop oils in less than an hour (dry hopping can take up to a week). Hop oil quickly infuses beer with distinct hops aromas and flavors, but it is also partially responsible for the IPA haze craft, bonding with certain strains of
