Underground Beer Dispensers

eCool Has Built a Dispenser That Keeps Your Beer Cold Underground

— May 29, 2014 — Unique
The eCool underground beer dispenser isn't just the average cooler that holds your ice and eventually your melted ice water. This cooler won't require any sort of added help from the user. Gone are the ice runs and excess weight that plagued those that were simply looking for a cold brew. The eCool underground beer dispenser cools beers down using the lower temperature underground.

The dispenser needs no electricity to operate, instead working from a crank. The crank allows the user to both put more peer underground and also to dig up a fresh, cold beer whenever they need to. The machine can hold 24 beers in it, so there won't be much need to consistently refill.

The only thing about the dispenser is that the user has to dig into the soil themselves when installing.
Trend Themes
1. Underground Refrigeration - The ability to keep drinks cool underground in a crank-operated dispenser presents opportunities to innovate refrigeration solutions in remote locations or during power outages.
2. Sustainable Cooling - The use of natural underground temperature to keep drinks cool could lead to more sustainable and eco-friendly cooling solutions, disrupting the traditional refrigeration industry.
3. Outdoor Dispensing - The eCool underground beer dispenser could spur innovations in outdoor dispensing, allowing people to have cold drinks without the need for electricity or traditional cooler boxes.
Industry Implications
1. Beverage Industry - The underground beer dispenser presents opportunities for beverage companies to offer customers innovative dispensing solutions for their products, especially in outdoor events and remote locations.
2. Camping and Outdoor Industry - The eCool underground beer dispenser could disrupt the outdoor industry by offering a novel and eco-friendly way of keeping drinks cold in outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, and picnicking.
3. DIY Landscaping Industry - The installation requirement of digging into soil for the underground beer dispenser creates opportunities for innovation in the DIY landscaping industry, especially in designing functional and creative outdoor spaces for relaxation and entertainment.
