Bier Port

The next evolution of pour it yourself / why bother with a knowledgeable beertender technology. You can read more about it HERE but I suspect that someone has probably already hacked it to get beer to people without ID. It seems similar to coffee vending machines and that leads to the big issue, line cleanliness. My best guess is that this item has one point of exit which means that if more than just bland industrial lager is being poured that there may be some “off” pints.

Pardon the grainy photo with the dog ear visible, I cribbed it from the recent Beer Advocate quarterly to add to my growing list of good ideas, that I wish would be done in Los Angeles…..

A vending machine filled with beers but you don’t know what you gonna’ get. What a great way to promote lesser explored beers, breweries and styles. And the random nature of it would make this so fun.
