WATCH: This New Beer Dispensing Method Is About To Change The World

James Fenton

Last month, while attending the Liverpool and Manchester United match at Anfield, I noticed something rather curious about the way in which my pre-match beer was being poured. 

Expecting the bog standard method of a half-tilted pint being hurriedly filled up towards an unnecessarily creamy head, I stared in disbelief as the barman popped the pint down on what I could only describe as some sort of suction nozzle.

Looking for some sort of explanation for the madness that was unfolding before my eyes, I inquired to the barman as to what the hell was going on. He explained that a magnet at the bottom of the glass gets lifted by the nozzle and the pint is poured to a pre-programmed amount. 

Still not quite sure how it worked (I can be a tad slow sometimes, alright?) I did what any inquisitive 21st century mind would do and undertook some online research.
