Too Good For Canned Beer? ANA provides Draft Beer In-Flight

At home, canned or bottled beer does alright, but when I am out I forever obtain draft. Sometimes when I fly, I might have a beer and will compose do it coming out of a can or bottle. However, All Nippon Airways (ANA) is taking it up a notch by offering draft beer on some of their flights.

Draft beer you would find at your local pub comes out of a keg, using extremely pressurized carbon dioxide gas, which can't be bringing on board a plane. Though, ANA worked with Hoshizaki Electric and effectively developed a beer dispenser made especially for in-flight use. Dry ice is used to stay the beer cold (and refreshing) during the flight.

Starting July 20th, passengers on domestic ANA flights will have the chance to try some draft beer. Let's hope this catches on and more airlines will soon pursue suit.
