# Asahi Robot Bartender Chills and Pours Beer By Mike Weldon | Published 2006-01-25 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asahi-robot-bartender-chills-and-pours-beer References: [engadget](http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/24/asahi-robot-bartender-chills-and-pours/) Luckily, Japan's [Asahi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirai-no-lemon-sour) Brewery has released a new robot that is guaranteed to pour you the perfect pint. They're giving away 5,000 of the bartending robots, but you'll have to be in Japan if you want to win... When searching for Robot bartenders, I also found this fun robot at the Guinness Book of World Records: "At Cyntia's Cyberbar in London, England, two 2-m. (7-ft.) robots named Cynthia and Rastus can mix 75 different cocktails, even choosing the glass and executing the final pour."
