The Story

I’ve been pretty blunt about how much I like the concept behind EBar. The company makes smart vending machines that pour pints of beer. That’s it. An EBar can pump out 300 pints in an hour and is meant for big events like soccer games, music festivals, etc.

Even better for the venue, EBar’s biz model is “beer as a service,” so machines roll into an event, pour beer and leave. EBar makes its money by taking a cut of revenues so there’s no upfront cost for the venue.

Now EBar has rolled out a new model of its machine, and is eyeing international expansion.
