Minnesota Twins fans can now pour their own draft beers at Target Field, thanks to self-serve beer machines that dispense beer by the ounce. The machines, which debuted ahead of Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game in July, are the first of their kind in major ballparks. To pour a pint, according to TwinCities.com, fans have to show their ID to a cashier to buy a vending card. As for selection, four beers were offered: Bud Light and Budweiser for 38 cents per ounce and Shock Top Lemon Shandy and Goose Island 312 Urban Pale Ale for 40 cents per ounce.
