And it fills cups from the bottom up, at a rate of nearly one per second!

Very intriguing idea! I'd love to see this in person and take a good look at the cups this uses.

Great! Another reason for stadiums and parks to raise beer prices!

Definitely very interesting, what's also key is that it doesn't spill and it doesn't produce a lot of head. In other countries, a good head on your beer adds to flavor, but for most of the American domestics, head is bad.

I'm still fascinated the cups don't leak. If, that is, they don't.

Beer.....nasty stuff, I have no idea how people can drink it.

If the "home" position of the valve is closed, and the valve is properly sealed, I can see it working. My question sits with the financials: How much more expensive is this cup compared to the standard plastic beer cup?

There is nasty beer... and there is great beer.

Yes, I believe the latter is called root beer.

Terp, who just HAD to (and hasn't had any of either in years...no carbonated beverages for him anymore....)

I love beer!!

At $6 a beer and if they could pour one that fast thats alot of moneyl

I like beer, but not at 6 or 7 dollars a pop! I don't see parks selling enough beer to justify the investment. Bars and nightclubs are a different story, however.

There was certainly a time this would have been very useful at Busch Gardens...or even some places at certain Florida parks...

Glad I didn't have my kids there at times that this system was needed!

I wonder if the beer will still have the same taste as the current draft systems.

Can't say I like paying ballpark prices for beer. But I will say the Miami Dolphins do it right... they sell Landshark Lager for the same price as your standard crap beers. Good stuff. Now if ballparks could just sell Newcastle for that price...

Maybe to some people but me, no way, no how and I've been to Europe and tried stuff there. Every last bit of it has that horrid funky taste that I cannot describe, lol. Being from Kentucky, I do love me some Bourbon though.

Do ya' like root beer, ace?

Terp, being snoopy!

Very much so Terp. I still remember when my father first gave me a glass. I was about 5 and wouldn't touch it because I thought it was BEER because of the name, lol. Once I finally tried it though, I was hooked. Of course it was the good Draft style which was always better than the canned stuff.

Wow another Dolphins fan beside me!

They also serve Yeungling Lager at their stadium for the same price, or at least they did when I went to the Orange Bowl two years ago.

If you want Newcastle at a sporting event, I believe the Columbus Crew have it for the same price as their other drafts, as well as a few other delicious brews.

For those who have wondered how this works...

Do you remember that jaw dropping video that showed beer being poured through the bottom of the glass? It all works because of this simple magnet attached to the bottom of the cup. The magnet raises up, to open, when being filled with the BottomsUP tap and keeps closed when you're drinking the brewski. Smart.

Yep, and knowing my luck it would somehow leak on me while I was consuming the beverage.

An equipment malfunction caused by your magnetic personality, I'm sure.

Sorry, FoF.. I'm not a Dolphins fan. I went down just as an opportunity to get to florida, haha. Seeing an NFL game was just an added bonus Speaking of bonuses, have you seen their cheerleaders? :wub:

I saw this on the news last night, Great American Ball Park is using this system this year.

Beer fans are also getting a treat this year. No more kegs, fans will be able to get their beer from a new machine called Bottoms Up, right behind home plate.
