Beer Tech: Fast beer tap maker markets home kits


"Mmmmmm....Beeeer."


An AP newswire article by Ryan Nakashima, via USA Today, reports that:

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.

After all the attention, the company says hundreds of beer drinkers are clamoring to get a Turbo Tap of their own. On Monday the company will start selling home kits online for those who have drilled holes in refrigerators to make "kegerators" or bought special coolers to serve draft beer in their basements, garages and recreation rooms.
