The key is the use of a cup that features a hole at the bottom and small, circular magnet that rests over it. When placed on the system, the magnet is lifted up by the pressure-driven beer. The cup fills up until the weight of the liquid pushes the magnet back down over the hole. The cup can then be lifted off and the beer consumed as normal.

What traditionally takes a single worker concentrating on the pour -- which still produces spillage and waste to produce the proper foam head -- is now hands-free, fast and almost perfectly efficient. Springer said stadiums that have used the system have gone from using eight beer pourers for every two cashiers to having one beer pourer for every eight cashiers. A single stand has been able to deliver 56 draft beers in one minute, an unofficial world record.

I saw this about a week again. It kind of blows your mind to see five cups fill up from the bottom to top at the same time. Very cool if this is the future of beer taps at bars and sporting venues.

Please keep this away from Philly. Can you imagine the fans in Philly if the stadium got more efficient at pouring beer? I would hate yo see the level of drunken boorishness that would exude from the stadiums in Philly.....
