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.
