AI Beer Vending Machines : beer vending machine

New Zealand brewery Panhead Custom Ales created a beer vending machine that will dole out free cans of beer to adults—but only if they can prove that they have musical prowess on the guitar. The Slay to Pay machine set up in Wellington has artificial intelligence to evaluate a guitarist’s ability to play, and in real-time, performers are rewarded with beer.

The beer vending machine, which functions like Guitar Hero for adults, made its debut at the Panhead Rolling Stone Music Awards, where it judged some of the top guitarists in the country.

In 2024, beer lovers with musical talent can look forward to being able to “slay for merch” from the brewery.
