Friday Happy Hour: Asahi's bartending robot

by Nick Vagnoni, Posted Jan 27th 2006 @ 4:02PM

Earlier this week, our friends over at Engadget posted about a new robot bartender from Japanese brewer Asahi.

This little fella will crack open a can of beer and pour it into a mug. It supposedly even tilts the glass to ensure a good head. What's more, the robot is also a refrigerator that can hold up to six cans of beer and two mugs.

Asahi is giving away 5,000 of these little robotic Sam Malones in a lottery-style drawing. The catch?

It's a Japan-only contest.
