A startup in Chicago - from FOX News:
'Pour-Your-Own Beer Bar' set to open in Chicago
Imagine being in a busy bar and not having to elbow your way through the crowd to get the bartender to pour you a cold one.
Well now, coming to Chicago is the "Pour-Your-Own Beer Bar," where you serve yourself whenever you would like. The system is currently being tested to rave reviews at 'Deuces and Diamonds’ in Wrigleyville.
"Rather than having to taste a full beer, for every one you want to try you can try it by the ounce, so you can really try one ounce of this one, one ounce of that one and the card system lets you do that,” said Roman Maliszewski, owner of 'Tapster’ Pour Your Own Bar.
Overserving?
"After every two drinks, even you put twenty dollars on the card, after two drinks it pauses, so then you have to see somebody and make sure that you're not overconsuming and make sure you're okay to keep drinking,” Maliszewski said.
They are using technology from Pour My Beer which seems to be well thought out. They say they have over 200+ installations around the world. Nice too in that you are not limited to a full glass. You can pour an ounce or two if you want to sample something.
