Considering this technology has been viewed millions of
times in online clips, odds are you’ve witnessed the glory of the Bottoms Up
Beer Dispensing System. In not,
prepare to be amazed and amazingly thirsty:
Our Yahoo! Sports colleague Dan Wetzel
profiled Bottoms Up and inventor Josh Springer on The Post Game last week
in a piece called "The Death of the Beer Line." How does a contraption that
pours beer nine times faster than normal work?
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.

Broad reports that the Wells Fargo Center will debut the technology for
tonight’s Philadelphia Flyers game against the Montreal Canadiens, becoming the
first Philadelphia area sports facility and, we’d imagine, the first in the NHL
to use it. (Update: According to BeerNewb, it’s been used in Dallas Stars and Los Angeles Kings arenas.) More
from Philly Sports Daily.
From
Travis on Broad Street Hockey: "With this system, you can literally pop out
of your seat after an icing call, get a beer, pay, and probably get back to
your seat before play begins again. How awesome is that?
Very awesome. In fact, we’re going to ask the following
question expecting the majority to endorse this … but we’re very interested in
hearing arguments against it from the FAILers. With that:
Pass or Fail: The
Bottom’s Up beer dispensary system at Flyers home games.
Now, if they could just invent something to speed up the bathroom lines …
