Japanese airline All Nippon Airways is the first airline of its kind to offer draft beer in flight. The airplanes will be equipped with specialized kegs which will help to regulate the pressure of the beer taps.
Unfortunately All Nippon Airways will only offer the beer from domestic flights within Japan. For those beer lovers in Japan, you’ll have to order quickly, as there are only 20 cups of beer available per flight. I love this idea of in-flight draft beer, it makes flying seem much more civilized.
