should the ranger ball park have self serving beer machines...
Self-serve buffets and gas have caught on, so why not help yourself to beer?
Baseball fans who attend Minnesota Twins games at Target Field in Minneapolis now have that option after self-serve beer kiosks made their Major League Baseball debut over the weekend.
The machines, called DraftServ, allow drinkers to choose how much beer they want, even if it's outside the standard 12- or 24-ounce offerings, according to ESPN. DraftServ at Target Field offers four brews - Bud, Bud Light, Shock Top Lemon Shady and Goose Island 312 Urban Pale Ale - for 38 cents to 40 cents per ounce depending on the beer.
Customers pre-pay either $10 or $20 onto a card that can be used at the machines. (Read: DraftServ doesn't take cash.) Stadium staff verifies IDs when that card is purchased. For the All-Star Game on July 15, Target Field will offer up to a $50 balance. Customers can only purchase up to 48 ounces every 15 minutes.
DraftServ is the product of a partnership between Anheuser-Busch and Delaware North, which manages concessions at 10 baseball stadiums, including Globe Life Park in Arlington. However, Shawn Mattox, general manager of the company's local concessions arm Metroplex Sportservice, could not confirm if DraftServ would be available at the ballpark.
"I can't say at this point in time whether we will or not," Mattox said via email Monday. "I can say we are talking to reps from Anheuser Busch about it and that my operations manager will be assisting at the All-Star Game and will be evaluating the machines while there."
