Artificial intelligence (AI) has made its way into the beer community and one brewer in Toronto has created its first beer using Ai.

Last month, the Kensington Brewing Company put the AI in IPA with A Little Robotic, Toronto’s first beer designed using artificial intelligence —a smoothie-style, double dry-hopped IPA made with mango puree and lactose. Partnering with Dessa AI lab, they produce a beer recipe using Artificial Intelligence. Brewers can harness data analysis software to automate production processes. For example, a big commercial brewery with a global presence might use AI to optimize a recipe for consistency in mass-produced batches or to incorporate customer feedback.

“The sheer volume of high-quality product available now is overwhelming,” he says, adding the last time he visited the LCBO’s Queens Quay location he saw a craft brew rack stocked with around 100 different varieties. “It’s increasingly difficult for small-to-medium-sized brewers to stay competitive,” said brewery’s president Michael Gurr.
