Self-Serve Beer Stations - OT Heaven?

Posted on 7/8/14 at 9:04 am
Self-serve beer stations are up and running in Target Field, so Minnesota Twins fans and those who attend the Major League Baseball All-Star festivities next week can decide what they want and even how much they want of it.
The machines, called DraftServ, are a partnership between concessionaire Delaware North and Anheuser-Busch.
"It's a way to engage with the customer and allows the fan to have greater control of what they're drinking," said Jerry Jacobs Jr., principal of Delaware North, whose Sportservice controls the concessions at 10 baseball stadiums, seven arenas that host NBA and NHL fans and seven NFL stadiums.
Fans attending Twins games can go to a cash register, show their ID and preload a $10 or $20 card. For the All-Star Game, a $50 card will be available.
Fans then scan the card at the machine and can choose between four beers and regulate how much they want to have poured.
Bud and Bud Light will cost 38 cents per ounce, while Shock Top Lemon Shandy and Goose Island 312 Urban Pale Ale will cost 40 cents per ounce.
"There's obviously some novelty value to this, but it also allows people to pour what they want," Jacobs said. "If they want half of a cup, that's all they will pay for."

That's self serve bud light, not self serve beer.

Pete Spike, general manager for concessions provider Delaware North, said Target Field is the first MLB venue to have the machines and added that he’s unaware of any NFL, NBA or NHL teams having the devices. Patrons buy vending cards and use them to dispense beer from the machines.

Pre paid cards only allow 10-20$..so that's like 2 beers right?
This idea sucks. You essentially have to go stand in two lines. Another thing, it takes jobs away from Hot girls who pour beer and make tips.

No, it was just funny. I was commenting on his comment and not his reading comprehension which, as you accurately point out, sucks.
