It was announced Monday that self-serve beer stations are currently up and running at Minnesota’s Target Field in preparation for the MLB All-Star Game next week. The stations allow fans to choose which beer they want and how much they want of it. The machines are called DraftServ and are a partnership between the mass concessions company Delaware North and Anheuser-Busch.
So how does it work? Fans basically go to a cash register, show their ID and preload a card they then scan at the DraftServ machine, choosing between four beers. The machine will allow fans to use their pre-paid card to pour up to 48 ounces of beer every 15 minutes. That’s downin’ it!
There is an employee at each spot to ensure there is no underage drinking and to prevent any over-inebriated fan from purchasing more alcohol — so there are some safety measures being taken.
Bud and Bud Light will run you 38 cents per ounce, while Shock Top Lemon Shandy and Goose Island 312 Urban Pale Ale will cost 40 cents per ounce. B.E.A.utiful.
