“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.”

“In a related headline, AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka decried the disappearance of beer pourer jobs overseas and vowed to protest until such jobs come back to our shores.”
My hat’s off to Mr. Springer and to Red Hook. Usually the inventor has his invention stolen from him and dies penniless. I thought the usual M.O. would be Red Hook patents a slightly modified version of the invention and their lawyers would threaten Mr. Springer into silence.
Stupendous! Amazing! Outstanding! GIVE THIS GUY A MEDAL!!!
I have a new hero in my life!
Watched the vid and still can’t figure out how this is done
The beer is obviously coming up at high speed from the bottom of what looks like a regular plastic cup, but it’s got to come up through a hole, and that hole has to immediately seal itself or the beer will all fall out the bottom. My first thought was that each cup was placed over a sealing bottom “lid”, but that would be a two-step procedure for each cup ‘poured’. I can’t figure how a hole at the bottom of each cup would seal itself, OR how the beer would stay put inside each cup for long enough even for it to be placed in a second or two onto a separate ‘underlid’ that would seal it effectively.
Can’t believe I hate this guy.
What an amazing invention. Saves money, time, cleaner and delivers consistency.
Good for him.
Now I’m thirsty.
Now I’m thirsty.
Simply amazing innovation, including the genius of selling advertising on the souvenir magnet. My wife’s going to bring it up to the concession operator at the local track.
You had me going there for a minute!
My first thought was an American Beer Hall Putsch! Yikes!
I love the smell of innovation and entrepreneurship in the morning. Smells like...America!
