Get your beer brought to you without a slave
By wattsy | May 10, 2008
We love robots just about as much as we love beer and this new product comes close to combining the two. First shown at the 2008 CES in Las Vegas the RC Remote Beer Cooler is just like a remote control car but with a Beer Cooler (read Esky in Oz or Chilly Bin in NZ) on top. The video above shows the unit in action at the show and if that tickles your fancy you can now preorder them. The unit runs on two C size batteries with the remote taking a 9 volt job. the cooler’s center part is made of a soft insulating material so the whole unit folds down to a flatish pancake shape. So if you dont have a butler, wife or kids to bring you a beer we recommend you invest in one of these… or just walk to the fridge, its your choice.

Well I am sure you have noticed we like featuring beer robots a bit on Hoppsy, well we found another one. This time it’s a clever ad for Holston Pils.

Want to win a beer robot? We do!
By Rocky | December 13, 2007
Well this one isn’t like the cute on on yesterdays Hoppsy Blog but it sure is impressive. Japan’s Asahi is running a competition where they are giving away 5000 of these great little robots which not only stock beer in their refrigerator tummy they open it an pour it into your favourite beer glass, then even put the empty in a receptacle. It’s the perfect robot, he dosn’t even spill a drop and gives a great Japanese style frothy head to your beer. All the winners need to do is collect 36 specially marked seals from cans of Asahi beer. How hard could that be, then go into the draw with millions of other people, we couldn’t work out the conditions or the closing date due to not understanding Japanese or Jinglish very well, but that’s no excuse to not enjoy some tasty Asahi Beers.

Beer Launcher - Never leave the couch again
By Rocky | September 26, 2007
We have found some great things on YouTube over the past few weeks but this one takes the cake. It’s an inventor who is appearing on the popular US talk show The David Letterman Show, he has invented a beer launcher. You need to see it to believe it- basically a robot arm puts its arm into the fridge grabs an ice cold can of beer and tosses it to the awaiting drinker on the couch. Not quiet sure how the can goes getting shaken up but who cares its fun - And I want one. This guy could make millions - if only he could modify it to send pizza as well.

Asahi - beer robot
By Rocky | August 5, 2007
The Japanese sure do love their robots, and what better use can you think of than get one to pour your icy cold Asahi Beer. This would have to be one of the more useful robots ever invented. Imagine having this little bloke around the house, not only does he pour your beer but he has a fridge in his robot tummy (a bit like Bender of Futurama) where he keeps the beer fresh and cold. Although it might take twice as long to open and pour a beer you will never get over the novelty value. Good to see technology being put to good use.
