I heard this on the spooky podcast...that there was a pinball machine that gave out beer, depending on how you scored. Does anyone know anything else about this? Sounded cool. 2 of my favorite things on this planet. Beer & Pinball.

This does sound like an epic idea!
Quoted from Pinballer22:I am pretty sure Terry at pinball life has one, I was there but too busy buying parts and forgot to look.
It was setup all the way to the right of the Tron LE. I saw it but was in line too long to enjoy anything it dispensed.
Quoted from Dr_Gonzo:My buddy said you had to score a certain amount of points to unlock the tap. Way cool. Then he pointed out the more you drank, the harder to score. [
] Pure evil genius.
Indeed!
Quoted from Dr_Gonzo:the more you drank, the harder to score.
That's pretty much a given for me after a certain point. Love this idea!

It was at the Pinball Life party, but it belongs to someone else. I met the guy at MGC in the Spring, but his name escapes me at the moment. It used to be a Bally Star Trek if anyone is curious.
Quoted from Mr68:I played it and drank from it. Pretty cool and a lot of work for whoever constructed it.

Glad you got a pic of it Kim, I was wondering what it was like.
I think the pictures have gone crazy on FB there! You've made a big hit with the worldwide pinball crowd!
I can see how it would be built. Two plugs, no way around that, but the refrigeration system in the Kegerator could be used to help keep the game cool as well.
Hmm. I wonder if we could get this as a special guest at PinBrew I? I should check! This would be right up their alley as well as being a major draw!
I've emailed Kevin Bong. Let's see what happens! If ever there was a game that embodies PinBrew I, this is it!

Heaven: You check in , they give you this machine at your new pad.
Hell: You check in, they give you this machine at your new pad, except there is no place to plug it in.
I need one of those. Wife would probably say know though cause I'll be there all the time with my buddies, lol
