Read more on CNET

At CES 2024, I expected to see a host of new automated and AI-assisted kitchen technologies, and the show didn't disappoint -- an AI steak toaster, an indoor meat smoker and a new type of microwave were only a few of the cutting-edge cooking products on display. What I didn't expect, however, was furtively chugging a small beer before a home-brewing demo was shut down by the authorities. And yet, there I was, sneaking a tiny sip (or two) of brew poured fresh from the tap at iGulu's F1 smart beer automated home brew appliance on the Las Vegas show floor before the convention cops stopped service.
