No, it is a small flap of plastic on the bottom of the cup, which acts as a one-way-valve.

Blasphemy, I'm sticking with magic.

Why do you think we are stupid?

How is that supposed to read?  :headscratch:

a.) Why, do you think we are stupid?  (Translation: Of course dummy, we all knew already)
b.) Why do you think we are stupid?  
c.) Why do think we are stupid?  (Translation: Why do think we are stupid, as opposed to [insert adjective here])

In response to A, I was dispelling any belief in magic. :salute 
In response to B, no, I don't think that you are stupid.  :confused:
In repsonse to C, I'm sorry if I come/came across as arrogant.  :(

Oops, I just noticed something, it would be impossible to drink from that cup, it's sealed shut!  Just ignore that top flap of plastic and it all makes sense.

No, the comment.  I'd have to hire a bouncer to keep everyone out if I had one of these.

and

B.  How many people stick there fingers up the bottom of the cup to see how it works and lose their beer?

I'm guessing that the part on the bottom that opens is gonna be too small for you to put your finger in and just push it open.

If they would have shown ANYTHING other than Buttweiser and Butt Lite in that video I would have been sold.

I think that was just some sort of magic that the marketing dweebs from Buttweiser put out there...no such machine exists in this universe.

But if you've got the option to stand in line for 10 minutes to get something for $.50 cheaper or get it that fast, most people will pay a little extra for that speed.

I'd rather drink camel urine before Crudweiser, then again, I might not be able to tell the difference.

Same with Miller although...  it IS triple hops brewed...    :rolleyes:

Not so much "no" head, but it does seem to minimize the head and more importantly, consistently the same amount with each pour... come to think of it, this may be the end of being served a beer at a game by an employee with a little smile, the boss-hag is gonna be able to account for the exact number of pours per keg now.  "Here Bob, take this drug test, yours was the only keg that came up 3 cups short of the rest tonight."
Title: Re: AWESOME beer machine!
Post by: Babalonian on January 13, 2011, 07:07:11 PM
Stop procrasinating by being lazy or cheap, buy your own and hook up whatever beer keg you want to it.  :devil

http://www.bottomsupbeer.com/

Looks like the current record is 44 pours in one minute with that machine... for once, that might actually be too much beer.


Edit:  Cool!  Looks like the bottom of the cup is actualy an FDA aproved magnet (like on your refrigerator) disk that seals magneticaly to an opposite polarized ring at the bottom of the cup.  The magnet can be a collectable after you drink your beer, simply remove it and stick it to the side of your fridge or kegrator at home.  Still looks like you could pop it off pretty easily and loose your beer, but the video clip seems to show it takes a little bit more effort than just a plastic flap valve.  http://www.grinonindustries.com/mag.htm

Post by: G0ALY on January 13, 2011, 07:24:53 PM

Interesting… I just read up on the dispenser and the cups. The valve (or disc) in the bottom of the cup is like a refrigerator magnet. And it can have any image printed on it. So after you drink the beer, you pop out the disc as a collectable from whatever event you bought the beer at.

So… They sell more beer because they can dispense it faster. They sell more beer because people want to see the dispenser in action. AND they sell more beer… Because drunks like shiny little trinkets like refrigerator magnets.

Add the fact that they can accurately keep tract of exactly how many beers were sold, ending give-aways to friends of the bartender.

I’m calling “Genius” on this gadget.

Post by: trax1 on January 13, 2011, 08:28:22 PM
That's definitely an innovative way of filling it from the bottom, using a magnet, and the fact that you can remove it & take it home with your teams logo on it is cool, I like the customer review of it, "Finally a reason for it to cost so much".

Unfortunately it says that the home unit won't be available until 2013, so still a few years away from having it at home, although it does say that there will be a few times before then when it will be available to home users if you subscribe to there mailing list.

Post by: druski85 on January 14, 2011, 11:35:02 AM
The magnets would also allow one to count their beers, like you currently can with either bottle caps or can tabs.  Course I'm not sure how many people have any interest in doing that at a major event, which is why I generally try to avoid the traffic after said events...   :uhoh
