There is a Budweiser Brewery near me in Fort Collins, Colorado and they sponsor an arena at our county fairgrounds called The Budweiser Events Center. In today's paper they announced that they are installing beer dispensers that fill the cups from the bottom up. Because it produces less foam the cups can be filled much faster with less wastage.



Bud Center to Fill Beer Cups from the Bottom Up

"LOVELAND - The future of beer technology is here.

A new Bottoms Up Beer machine that can fill three 24-ounce cups from a hole in the bottom of the cup in a matter of seconds will make its debut at tonight's Colorado Eagles hockey game at the Budweiser Events Center.

The $3,500 system, manufactured by Montesana, Wa.-based GrinOn Industries, is faster, more efficient and entertaining for fans, said Ryan Young, director of marketing for the Budweiser Events Center.

Phil Hossler, general manager with the food service company Ovations, demonstrated the machine Wednesday.

Initially, the events center has two Bud Light kegs and a Budweiser keg hooked up to three of the four nozzles. The automated machine is operated on a timer and can fill 16-ounce, 20-ounce and 24-ounce cups as well as pitchers."

When I went over to UTube for that video I came across this David Letterman clip:



At first I thought it was the guy who invented the bottoms up dispenser, but it's a completely different deal.

Now I'm thirsty.
