Looks like it might happen.
Not sure if Germans.

The company’s prototype, called the SYNEK draft system, sits on your kitchen counter and dispenses beer—even from the most obscure craft breweries. The secret behind this “Keurig for beer” is a new kind of flexible packaging that holds the equivalent of about eleven 12-ounce beer cans, says SYNEK strategic director Mike Werner.

The SYNEK System Kickstarter campaign, which far surpassed its $250,000 goal with more than two weeks to go, has harnessed the power (and ample funds) of beer enthusiasts. Looks like the first SYNEK machines will indeed roll out by spring 2015.

They already sell something like this at Target I think
ETA: But this obviously has more potential

Heineken has the beer tinder that never really took off. But I would be willing to give this a try

Just looked it up, the one I saw is called DraftMark or something. The fact that this one is getting so much attention from breweries is what is exciting.

According to Werner, the SYNEK system will give small breweries, which couldn’t otherwise afford to distribute their product nationwide, a way to reach more drinkers. It’s a simpler distribution solution than growlers, which are tricky to transport, keep beer fresh for only a few days, and can taint the brew’s flavor.
They make it sounds as if these breweries will somehow be able to distribute to any place they want, which isn't going to happen. It would be cool, but liquor laws are a bitch.

The kickstarter video is pretty funny.
So, it's like a kuerig made it with a box of wine using hops as lube and this is what came of it?
Want.

I really hope this ends up happening. I would definitely buy one if the bags end up catching on with most breweries and you could easily buy them at your grocery store.
Really cool idea

...am I missing something or is a growler not much more practical?

It's not really any different from this thing:
Brewers will still have to put their beer in special packaging to work with the Kuerig.

It seems pretty pointless when you can just go to the store and buy the same thing in cans or bottles.

It's an alternative to many ways you obtain beer these days. If you want beer at your house fresh from the tap of a local brewery, chances are you have it in a growler. Unfortunately, growlers tend to go flat relatively quickly. SYNEK is more of an alternative to growlers in this sense. I assume it's a luxury item for those that prefer their beer straight from the tap instead of the store.
Anyway, they have been very successful on Kickstarter. Originally looked for $250K goal in 21 days and reached it in three days. Less than 10 days later and the team has over 1,400 backers and $423,000+ funded.

Yep, it's like a better version for growlers, and the bags will be fillable at growler stations.
So the advantages are pretty clear if you want draft beer.
A growler goes bad in a couple/few days, especially once opened. Supposedly these will stay fresh for 30, and they can be swapped out without degradation. So presumably, you could by 4-5 bags and have a month's worth of variety, which would clearly be a lot easier than hitting the growler store 2/3 times week.
