Bottoms Up Draft System

[landlockedbrewer]

I can see a multitude of issues with this draft system no matter if it's commercial or residential. What are your thoughts?

haha yep. It seems to me like it'd be a good conversation piece, but not really that practical.

1) The residential one is $750 bucks for a single tap system, and you still have to spend money on special cups with the valve in the bottom.
2) The valve in the draft unit seems like it could get stuck open if any junk gets stuck in it or anything. Must be touchy to be open as soon as a cup touches it. I wonder if it goes off if you accidentally set something on it.
3) The cups are going to be a pain. As soon as you set it on something or hold it from the bottom will open up on you.

weird...
