This summer during our vacations in Canada I saw for the first time a beer self service station. It was love on a first sight.
The system was pretty clever. You had to buy a prepaid card and then select one of the 14 beers on the station.
It was mainly craft beers from local micro breweries, so chances that you knew one from before were slim. That is why you could use the small glasses to taste it before pouring the whole pint.
Beer tap was enabled after placing the prepaid card onto it. It showed you your limit and how much beer was left on the tab.
When the card was empty, the beer station greeted you with this unpleasant message :)
I loved the experience and it was something new to me. Check out the video on Dtube, link below if you want to find out more.
Ohhhh....I love those local micro brews. You can always expect to get a unique flavor/carbonation combo.
Now, imagine a self-serve beer station where you can pay with you mobile + any popular crypto! I'm sure someone out there is already working on one.
You can discover some hidden gens almost every time when you are trying micro breweries while travelling. As you said, not even 2 are the same with all the unique flavours and carbonations.
Hehe i wanted to suggest that you could "try" each with a pint :D But that message would probably stop you from doing that :D Is that a limit per person or you just ran out of credit?
Just running out of credit, but it sounds nicer if you don't write it that way. You can still recharge it after the friendly staff sees that responsibility limit is not reached yet :)
Beer <3 :D
wow ... there's such a fun place. I really like beer. and want to taste the beer you share.
"Responsibility limit" is set to low, hehe.
It is low but you can "reset it" with another payment :)
I would go there then :-)
Beer station is very luxurious
I like to see your new experience post & thanks to share this type of writing content.
Beer! any thing about beer is just cool. That place is a must visit, it's all about technology, we will have coins that will be earned for drinking beer in the future...lol
My chance to buy lambo one day then :D
Great friend of your good postings I like
amazing post and wonderful beer station,,,i am impressed
Canada's finest at the finest way of disposal !
Look at this @pbgreenpoint
I tried one of these self-tapping bars last year, and I am huge fan. It was like being at a brew festival, I got to try all 32 taps in 1-2 oz pours and it wasn't too expensive. Then when I found one I really liked, I did the full pour. What a concept, I hope to see more of them sprout up around me in the future.
Here in Sofia, there is something I think is even better. They have beer pipes embedded in the walls of a pretty large pub and the beer they are making flows through them to a tap at every table. There are digital counters that show you how much you've drunk and it gets automatically calculated when you pay. And the beer is pretty great! :)
It is the second time I see something like this! The first time we were in New Zealand in a winetasting bar, what an experience! You gave your credit card, or you got a card with a limit, and then you could taste over 100 different wines and different Porto, and they also had a small whiskey section. I thought it was really fantastic! in between the wine tastings, you could order little plates with bread oil and dry herbs, to get a different taste in your mouth. Loved it! Thanks for sharing, it brought nice memories.
