Keurig hosted its first-ever 2015 After-Party at The Continental Club in downtown Los Angeles, following the 57th Annual Grammy Awards. Being famous for its best-selling at-home brewing machines, Keurig celebrates the arrival of its newest line of home brewing equipment, Keurig 2.0.
In celebration of Keurig 2.0, Keurig treated guests with a special performance by 2015 Grammy nominee, Bernhoft, with additional sounds by DJ Aaron Colbert. Mixologist-created Keurig cocktails along with a variety of gourmet tray-passed foods.
