And, hey, AB-InBev was kind enough to toss Goose Island 312 in the mix!

The real question is, will this help speed up beer lines? Or give the consumer too many options and too much technology at their finger tips and slow things down?

I guess it may cost some ballpark employees their jobs!

It won’t cost jobs since you have to buy a pre-loaded card at concession stands and each machine will have an attendant to help.

Lines should be faster since people will use traditional stands and these new-fangled fancy ones. More lines=shorter lines, in theory.

I’ll bring a growler next time I go and fill that up.

After reading the title, I was hoping there’d be a beer machine next to the Coke machine at Target stores.

I am into anything that gets me spending more time watching baseball and less time waiting in lines. That said, I will not buy MGD or Lite from the guy in the stands when I can go get Half Acre for a dollar more on the concourse.
