Tap In
Becoming Your Own Bartender

It’s Friday.
Life is surging through your veins. You could bite a tiger.
So you’re in no mood to be at the behest of a bartender. You’re ready to grab life by the horns, bask in
the power of free will. In other words, you want to be your own barkeep.
Say hello to the
Draft Master, a newly installed draft system (and the first of its kind in
Massachusetts) that allows you to pour your own beer, now serving at The Littlest Bar.
Yes, this is as good as it sounds. Already implemented in bars in Ireland (naturally), the Draft Master lets
you bypass the bartender and pour your own glasses of Guinness and Smithwick’s, freeing you up to employ
your signature draft-pulling technique (it’s a hybrid of Sam Malone, Moe from
The Simpsons and
Tom Cruise in
Cocktail).
So here’s how this will go down: tonight, you and a few buddies will claim the Draft Master table and
start a tab at the bar (it’s first-come, first-serve, so get there early). This will activate the system
(essentially, two kegs under the table) along with the LCD screen on the tap that keeps track of every pint
poured.
From there, you’re at the helm, mixing Black and Tans, filling glasses to the brim and perfecting your
Guinness-head shamrocks. The only catch: the system pauses after every couple of pints, just so things
don’t get too crazy.
Don’t worry, they still will...
