Happy Hour Clean Technology Special: Pubinno Smart Tap at CES - CleanTechnica

The article highlights Pubinno’s Smart Tap, showcased at CES, as an innovative clean technology designed to reduce waste in draft beer dispensing. Traditional draft beer systems often result in significant beer loss due to cleaning, poor pressure control, and excess foam. Pubinno’s smart tap precisely controls the pour, increasing keg yield by about 21% and reportedly saving over 1.4 billion liters of water from more than 200 million draft beers served.
