It seems the usefulness of ChatGPT knows no bounds as even brewers are using the tool to make new beer. 

German brand Beck’s is one of a number of companies to have turned to the clever AI chatbot to make a futuristic beverage, called Beck’s Autonomous. 

ChatGPT not only came up with the lager’s recipe but also its packaging, name, advertising campaign and even a design for the beer’s website. 

Beck’s is the first commercial brewery to work with ChatGPT, although other independent brew houses in North America have already done the same. 

MailOnline gave Beck’s Autonomous a try to see how it compares with the brand’s flagship lager.

Beck’s got ChatGPT to come up with the beer in celebration of 150 years since its founding in the German city of Bremen back in 1873, although humans actually did the brewing. 

Beck’s says: ‘150 years of innovation needed a celebration that matched our pioneering spirit.

‘That’s why from recipe to marketing, every decision in the making of this beer was made by AI.’ 

Beck’s is keeping the recipe secret, although we do know it has the four essential components that make a beer a beer – water, grain, hops and yeast.

Beck’s also revealed to MailOnline that the new beer is a lager, meaning it uses a bottom-fermenting yeast.  

A limited batch of 150 units has already been delivered to tasters for free, and the firm will study feedback before deciding if it will release it more widely for the public to enjoy. 

After weeks of waiting for the limited edition beer, Beck’s Autonomous arrived in a fancy box sealed with special tape and adorned with a futuristic label.

Written on it is the tagline that ChatGPT also came up with: ‘The beer that made itself.’ 

What I wasn’t expecting was the box starting to speak to me in a robotic voice as soon as I pulled it open, accompanied by a green flashing light. 

Like a scene at the start of a particularly odd Black Mirror episode, the voice said: ‘Beck’s gave complete control of their anniversary beer to AI to celebrate to celebrate 150 years of pioneering.

‘That’s how I was prompted into existence and now I’m here to give you a taste of the future.

‘I’m Beck’s Autonomous and I say, cheers!’  

It turns out that the box is embedded with a sensor that triggers the speech whenever it detects light – so the welcome message goes off every time the box opens as long as it is dark. 

Once I got over the shock of a talking cardboard box, I pulled out the 250ml metal can containing the precious liquid. 

The can was covered with a weird bulky layer of black material that feels a bit like hard rubber, like the exoskeleton of a robot, worthy of The Terminator. 

To be frank, it looked more like a can of Lynx Africa than something you would drink from.

What’s more, the can’s exoskeleton made it rather hard to pour so I spilt some on the table (and I had no such trouble with the glass bottle of Beck’s flagship lager).  

The two lagers were notably different in appearance – the standard Beck’s was golden while the AI beer was a lighter and paler straw colour. 

Beck’s Autonomous also poured with a much bigger head, which research suggests is a good thing because it helps deliver flavour. 

As many regular beer drinkers will agree, the flagship Beck’s lager isn’t the most challenging or delicious of beers on the market. 

It has a gentle malty sweetness with little-to-no bitterness, making it a quaffable and therefore popular option for British pub-goers. 

To my joy, I found Beck’s Autonomous to be an entirely different kettle of fish (or in this case, should I say, wort). 

It was much hoppier – like a bitter or an English pale ale – and I suspect ChatGPT’s recipe featured more than one variety of hops. 

There was also a slight sourness – a plus because I love the trendy sour beers that are increasingly taking over the taps at the UK’s hipster beer bars. 

Beck’s Autonomous was certainly the winner, although admittedly the two beers are of very different styles and will likely target different consumers. 

I would like to see the AI beer on the supermarket shelves soon, although I dread to think what the pricetag would be if Beck’s decided to sell it in the electronic gizmo. 

Beck’s Autonomous isn’t the first ChatGPT beer – that title goes to Atwater Brewery in Detroit, which has been serving its Artificial Intelligence IPA at its pumphouses. 

It contains three types of malt and a whopping eight varieties of hops to give it a bitter punch, including centennial, citra and amarillo. 

Whistle Buoy Brewing Company, in Victoria, British Columbia, also used the tool to come up with a recipe for a ‘hazy pale ale, fluffy and tropical’.

Manchester City‘s Champions League title celebrations are in full-swing and look set to go on long into the evening as players popped open beers at 2am and Jack Grealish showed off his karaoke skills.

City stars are set for an extended period of partying in Istanbul after beating Inter Milan 1-0 at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium to lift the club’s first Champions League title and become only the second English team in history to secure the treble.

Pep Guardiola and his players had to navigate their way past a difficult Inter side that tested their resolve, however victory inside 90 minutes ensured deserving players have plenty of time to hit the Turkish city in celebration.

Footage from inside the dressing room showed England international Grealish joining in with a rendition of Fleetwood Mac‘s 1987 hit song ‘Everywhere’ with new words added in to represent City’s European success.

The 27-year-old winger was in tears at full-time as he expressed his joy at winning European football’s greatest honour and spared no time in sinking a beer with his team-mates after the match.

He was momentarily joined by Norwegian team-mate Erling Haaland during his social media video toasting City’s triumph before the striker headed out of shot to re-join the party.

Grealish is known to enjoy letting his hair down in the offseason and was one of a number of City players that were quick to grab a well-deserved beer as realisation of their achievement began to sit in.

He posed with City kitman Brandon Ashton as the duo swigged from cans of Heineken. 

Meanwhile, Haaland managed to get his hands on the iconic trophy that was being passed around the changing facilities and paused to get a picture that will be adored by supporters all around the world.

He also shared a snap of himself biting down on his gold winners medal that was uploaded without a caption in an already viral post. 

Details surrounding the afterparty celebrations had been kept relatively quiet with players refusing to reveal what was scheduled, although Guardiola admitted a party was planned with family and friends at the team hotel.

Long-standing City servant Riyad Mahrez also spent time posing with the two-handled Champions League silverware as he told the camera ‘get in there, come on’ while being joined by Kyle Walker who cheekily observed as he peered over.

Mahrez later enjoyed some one-on-one time with the famous trophy as he lifted it in the air while smiling down the camera lens. 

A jubilant Walker additionally gave insiders a look into the dressing room antics by going live on his Instagram channel and giving his 3.5million followers a sneak peak into the life of Champions League winners. 

The England full-back was ‘disappointed’ to have been left on the bench by Guardiola for the final, but showed no signs of animosity in the aftermath of victory.

He positioned himself in the middle of a topless Haaland and Portuguese defender Ruben Dias.

Walker pointed his phone at Haaland and said ‘what a first season’ in response to the 22-year-old’s 52 goals campaign who pumped his fist and grinned back at the camera.

He was then joined by Dias as the duo sarcastically analyse their achievement with Walker stating: ‘We delivered the treble, just the treble.’

Dias matches his team-mates attitude and casually told Walker ‘in the end it is just another day at the office.’

Team captain Ilkay Gundogan didn’t waste time in getting ready after the match and was filmed drying himself with a hairdryer while ‘we are the champions’ echoed around the changing room.

Players eventually began to filter out of the dressing room and Mail Sport’s Lewis Steele was present in the media mix zone to catch City players leaving with beers in hand as they avoided answering any more post-match questions.

Grealish was clearly still in the mood for a singalong as he turned out with a speaker booming the same song as before and danced with another beer as he strolled away.

John Stones, dressed in a white team hoodie and tracksuit bottoms, toasted waiting journalists with a can of beer as he strolled his way towards the team coach.

He was then joined by Walker who opted for a shorts and t-shirt style and telling reporters ‘thank you’ as he similarly raised a bottle of lager to the crowd.

Meanwhile, there was chaotic scenes after full-time as City supporters reportedly emerged to find no shuttle buses back to Istanbul city centre had been laid on for them.
