The Rise of Beer Made by AI
Mint Ahmedabad
|August 29, 2025
When Beck's, a storied German brewery founded in the city of Bremen in 1873, celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2023, it decided to bring in a new brewmaster to mark the occasion: ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot.

The AB-InBev-owned brand asked it to whip up a recipe using only hops, yeast, water, and malt. The result was "Beck's Autonomous", a lager with a subtle sweetness, a hoppy texture, and quite a head. One Daily Mail reporter considered it better than the brewery's standard lager.
Beer and AI may seem an unlikely pairing, but Beck's is far from the only brand to have asked for input from the technology. Atwater Brewery, an American firm, introduced an AI-designed citrusy India pale ale (IPA) in 2023 and last year St. Austell Brewery in Britain used AI to create a tropical IPA dubbed "Hand Brewed by Robots".
In March, Coedo Brewery in Japan asked an AI model to analyze the preferences of people in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s, and then developed four craft beers, one for each age range. In general, the response from customers, brewers say, has been overwhelmingly positive.

D'Angelo leaves behind an era-defining legacy
In the long history of horny sex jams, nothing quite matches up to the brilliance of D’Angelo’s Untitled (How Does it Feel?) It's a seven-minute slow-burn that thrums with a tension both erotic and divine, its entreaties to his lover to “take the walls down” with him delivered by a choir from the heavens.

Dial P for puzzle-maker
David Mitchell is not a performer known for his acting range. On the BBC panel show Would I Lie to You (YouTube), host Rob Brydon mocked Mitchell—star of the unbelievably good comedy series Peep Show—by mimicking his voice and saying “Shall I do posh and repressed, or repressed and posh?” This, while cruel, is a truism. Mitchell, who has made a career out of quoting Shakespeare when he isn’t playing Shakespeare, consistently comes across literate and wealthy (and haplessly dorky), which is what makes him perfectly cast for the new mystery series Ludwig.
