Hey Yelp geeks, this would be quite a bit more impressive if you could select from a range of kegs in a properly sized kegerator using the touch-screen, possibly including custom blends mixed from different kegs. It could keep track of your favorite beer, so you could just swipe your RFID and pour exactly what you want. Hurry and get to work on version 2.0, and be sure to keep us posted.
I could see this being popular at bars; self-serve beer stations with an electronic tab, used with a swipe of an RFID wrist band they give you at the door. Flag your friends' accounts and buy them a round of drinks with the tap of a button. Add an augmented reality iPhone app to buy a girl across the bar a drink (credit her RFID account), and things are looking pretty futuristic all of a sudden.

- rhettg 16y agoCustom blends of beer ? Have you had a beer before ?
- HaloZero 16y agoself-service beer sounds a like a terrible terrible idea.... a good way for some idiots to intoxicate themselves to a point where a bartender might be help responsible.
- gcheong 16y agoI suppose you could track how many times a person has poured over time and cut them off at some point.
- WiseWeasel 16y agoYou could have "counselors" who go around the bar and chat people up, keep them safe, etc. Freeing up the bartenders could be a good thing.
