I saw this mechanical wonder in an article by John Holl on Craft Beer.com.
You are seeing the auto growler!
“The traditional way to fill a growler is still directly from the taps; often with the assistance of an extender hose so the jug can fill from the bottom. But there are some breweries that are putting technology to work when it comes to preparing beer to-go.
At Pennsylvania’s Victory Brewing Company they use an Austria-made growler filler. Purchased in 2008, the mechanical wonder pours 20 different beers. After being inserted into the filler, the growler is placed on a pedestal; the machine purges the glass from carbon dioxide and then fills the growler with the beer of choice.
“It’s much more exciting than watching a bartender hook a hose up to a bar tap,” said Victory’s Whitney Thompson, Quality Services Executive Manager.
The brewery said it allows them to send draft beer home with customers while preserving quality. Additionally, beer loss has been reduced by at least 90 percent, they said, which saves considerable cost.”
