‘Bottoms Up Draft Beer Dispensing System’ Debuts Tonight at Budweiser Events Center [VIDEOS]

The Fort Collins Coloradoan is reporting that a new bottom-first beer-filling system will be in place at the Budweiser Events Center. The 'Bottoms Up Draft Beer Dispensing System' can fill three 24-ounce cups from a hole in the bottom in about 10 seconds without spilling a drop. The new machines debut tonight at the Colorado Eagles game, and be used for all events this season.

I have seen these systems a few times before, and I have to admit, they are pretty cool to see in action. Check out video of the filling below.GrinOn Industries is responsible for the new beer filler and they claim it is the "world's fastest beer-dispensing system." And they prove it with a video on their website showing 44 beers filled in one minute.

The custom-made cups with magnetic bottoms hook onto the nozzles and the dispenser fills them from the bottom, reducing head, foam and spilled beer.

Once the cup is full, a circular magnet in the bottom of the cup seals the hole, keeping the beer in place. As long as the drinker does not press the magnet into the cup, there is no chance of the beer spilling or leaking.

Maybe it's because I'm facinated by new technology, or maybe it's  because I'm still distracted by shiny things and anything with a light on it, but I think I could be thoroughly entertained for a good 5-10 minutes watching a bartender fill beers with one of these.
