The guy who invented this system is going to die a very rich man. And more power to him!

I drink Erdinger which happens to be non-alcohol but has the largest head I ever seen.
I had one last night watching Bayern Munich beat Inter Milan 1-0, in Italy! :)

They use it in Phila. at Wells Fargo Center. Problem is if you touch the center of glass when it is full you end up with a beer in your lap or on the floor .People were not thrilled with the idea.

The queue for getting the beer isn’t the problem. We need to eliminate the queue getting rid of the beer.

It's still an ingenious idea. People will be collecting the magnets. 50 years from now, they'll be collectors items.
