Have had that system in a bar here in Melbourne (Australia) for years (Bar is called Da Biers). Also saw it in a microbrewery in Copenhagen (Vesterbro Bryghus)...

There is a convenience store in Hallettsville, TX that has a couple of taps right next to the soda fountain where you pull your own and pay at the counter.

It sounds as if there's nothing much new about this. I had never heard of it before I saw the Yahoo item I posted.

I think it sounds interesting, but I'd rather have my own tap at home in my pub!

Oh gee, swell. It stops at 14 12-oz beers, before the waiter reinitiates it again. Just what drunks and under-age drinkers need - an honor system . . . :roll:

Lucky. Here in PA we can't even buy the bottled stuff in convenience stores/grocery stores at all.

I know! I had to buy a six pack at a bar the last time is was there. I thought what the heck is goin on around here and then i saw the Amish tooling around in these horse driven funeral buggies, maybe they're being this?

You used to be able to drink and drive in TX until the early 90s. But, there's supposedly a loophole in the open container law that was adopted that states that to be fined it must be the original container. That's why we have drive through margarita barns where you can get a drink in a Styrofoam cup.

But look on the bright side: that's only 8.4 real pints (20 oz).

Everytime we visit my in-laws, we have to buy a case of Yuengling... but that tends to be good for the duration visit. Six packs in the bar are exceedingly overpriced! The beer will keep, after all.

I also heard that PA is working to change the liquor laws to allow for grocery store sales. (and if that doesn't work -- drive to NJ or Del!).

That works fine if you're in Philadelphia, but not if you're at Penn State or Bucknell.

You mean there's more to PA than Philly and the Main Line?
