Fancy a Cheeky Pint? Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 As the Topic Heading says, I spent a few days up in Noosa Queensland during the week and stumbled across a great little bar. Taps in Mooloolaba, in the Sunshine Coast. A great idea where you get yourself a pre-pay card which you top up from behind the main bar then off you go pouring your own beer from the many taps located around the pub. Swipe your card and then pour as much or as little as you like and your card is simply deducted with the value of what you pour. If you are in the area, pop in and enjoy. I did!

Morrie Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 FCP, that's a novel idea. What would stop you pouring 2 beers instead of just the one and hence only costing you one, or does the tap automatically shut off after one schooner is filled?

Gag Halfrunt Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I too, was wondering how this works in practical terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrie Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Maybe there's a flow meter on the tap and you're paying by volume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Yeah, it deducts the money on the card by how much volume is poured as they do have pint glasses, schooners and pots I think too. There's one of these venues in Fortitude Valley as well which I've been to a few times - it's probably better in winter though when the taps don't warm up as much because in summer they pour a heap of foam before the beer comes through properly. They may have rectified this since I was there last though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancy a Cheeky Pint? Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 Sorry for the delay, I've been away working. Yes, it deducts the money by the volume poured so you can basically sample whatever you fancy and go back for more of what you like. The scary bit was watching the money/balance on the top up card going down on the display screen as quick as the beer was pouring, but it wasn't over priced at all and I really enjoyed the experience. Speaking to the fella there he said that another venue was in the pipeline for Sydney. Take a look at: www.tapsaustralia.com.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gag Halfrunt Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Where can I get the flow meter equipment that they use? It would come in handy every time my mates (and extended family) think its their god given right to pour themselves a beer from my keg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy flow meters for kegs but honestly I don't think it's worth the money. It'd be better spent on another FV or two and a fridge to ferment in to keep the supply up and give you an excuse to brew more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
