Turbo Tap-BEER 4 times faster!!!


http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/turbo_tap

MILWAUKEE - The company that sped up pulls of draft beer at sports stadiums around the country with its Turbo Tap nozzle is bringing the technology to rec rooms across America.

Laminar Technologies LLC has outfitted six sports arenas including U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago and some 30 Chicago bars, receiving fawning media coverage. Time magazine lists the gadget as one of the coolest inventions of 2005 in an issue that hits newsstands Monday



While home users are not concerned with better sales, they are drawn by the same attributes that attracted businesses: pints poured in about two seconds — what the company claims is up to four times faster than a normal tap — and keg yield up to 30 percent better than regular.

Because the tap smooths the pouring process, there is a regulated amount of foam, a lot of which normally goes down the drain in the quest for the perfect head. Efficient pours can mean up to 20 more beers per keg even for people who have no experience pulling beer, the company says.

4. Faster beer. That's just what I need!
I bet it doesn't work with Guinness. Some things are worth the wait.
