It's quite clearly filling faster than a standard beer pump. The nozzle must be pouring from multiple directions
No more long queues at the bar!

Then have a bigger beer pump? I don't see how filling from the bottom is anything other than a needless novelty.
It takes at least 3 or 4 times the time to just fill one glass the 'manual' way
If they start using those thick plastic (the ones that almost feel like glass) in this way, it will really take off.
Awesome for match days etc

- Death Star or Mount Doom, it depends on the day.
It would never catch on due the cups being plastic. Especially over here. Events maybe?
Yeah, plastic is the killing point for this. If I'm given a plastic glass I always ask for a glass one. Unless it's an event or something. I can see how it'd reduce the queue at major events though, NEC sized etc.

Got to agree plastic cups is a right bummer, but I'm sure it won't be long til they get pint glasses working on this.
lol, did not even pay attention to the links. Came across this in an online nes site, Daily mail I think.
Never mind that video.. What exactly were you watching before you fell upon this!!
Just look at the vids surrounding that one.

Faster beer, means faster drinking, means faster drunkness, means more problems.
But faster drinking also means more money. And we all know more money = More problems anyway. So where are you going with this?
Way of the world.

Witchcraft! Burn it! Burn it!
Automated machines, could be easily installed and managed. Lots of them in club. Much more easy to implement than a 300m bar
My dad was visiting a company that designed these and reckons it's one of the best things he has seen in the industry. Apparently doing it this way gives you the magic number for filling a glass. Thankfully the glasses can also be re-used so no throwing away hundreds of plastic glasses.

It's the paying that will still take ages and having a one way valvle might cost money and the environment. 
cool but can't see it hapening.

Aye only hand pumps will do.
Because filling beer from the top directly (without a tilted glass) leads to nothing but froth. Filling from the bottom creates a "buffer" of beer that stops the rest of it frothing up.
Try pouring a can of beer into a glass (or from a tap) thats standing upright and see what happens.
Simple with a can. Stick the can into the glass, it will reach a point where no more pours quite quickly, then slowly raise the can out of the glass
what stops it from leaking out the bottom again
i think they found a bug in the physics engine

We can't let barmaids lose their jobs. Who would we casually flirt...I mean, it removes the human factor from the bar experience!
