Video: I Might Have To Attend a Flyers Game

Not because I'm a Flyers fan, but because of the Bottoms Up Beer Dispensary System. Check out these two videos of how this machine works.





Dan Wetzel interviewed the inventor of this machine last week at The Post Game. Here's how this machine works.

The key is the use of a cup that features a hole at the bottom and small, circular magnet that rests over it. When placed on the system, the magnet is lifted up by the pressure-driven beer. The cup fills up until the weight of the liquid pushes the magnet back down over the hole. The cup can then be lifted off and the beer consumed as normal.

What traditionally takes a single worker concentrating on the pour -- which still produces spillage and waste to produce the proper foam head -- is now hands-free, fast and almost perfectly efficient. Springer said stadiums that have used the system have gone from using eight beer pourers for every two cashiers to having one beer pourer for every eight cashiers. A single stand has been able to deliver 56 draft beers in one minute, an unofficial world record.

Yes this contraption will make it's debut at the Wells Fargo Center tonight for the Flyers-Canadiens game. If this thing is successful, I might actually have to make a trip to a Flyers game. My only worry about this machine is how much foam it creates. Too much foam ruins beers. Other than that worry though, I hope this machine is successful and eventually spreads to other sporting venues around the country.
