The Boise (Idaho) TechMall, a hub for businesses and business owners in pursuit of growth tools, has deployed the Boise HotSpot, Idaho’s first completely automated self-serve beer and wine kiosk from the Chicago based company PourMyBeer, according to an announcement from PourMyBeer. PourMyBeer is a tap solutions company that distributes mobile self-serve beer tables, fixed beer walls, mobile beer walls, fixed draft beer tables, and mobile draft self-serve tables.

"It seemed appropriate to incorporate the latest technology in hospitality into our very own HotSpot," said Mike Fias, owner of Boise HotSpot, in a statement. "The system has been working out great since we opened. Our customers are able to taste different varieties of beer and wine at their leisure. Age-appropriate patrons are issued an RFID Beer Card by our staff. They tap the card next to the brand they want and pour however much they feel they would like to try. The customer pays for exactly what they pour, kind of like pumping your own gas, and for exactly the number of ounces they pour. I’m not sure who’s enjoying the beer wall more, me or my customers!"
