People buy cocktails, even at stupid prices. Today’s invention is a beer cocktail.
Consumers should be able to ask for a combination of several beers, so that each pub visit has an element of discovery about it. Popular hybrids could be given common names to make ordering easier.
This would be pretty easy to achieve, using bar taps and a metering unit into which a bartender could enter how much of what beers were required using a keypad.
This would also allow a pub-goer to order his or her favourite beer diluted with zero alcohol beer, in order to limit their intake of alcohol.
The bar would then issue you with a receipt for each drink, stating the amount of alcohol included (with a warning on your phone, as you approach the legal driving limit).
Some of the most popular combinations might be made available in bottled form.
