I had a chance recently to see the Draft Master beer tap table in action and, let me tell you, it sure poured some smooth, tasty Guinness.

Writing about how these tables are hitting American soil from Ireland definitely was one of the more delightful assignments I've had for the paper in recent years. That said, rest assured, I did not perform any acts of journalism while inebriated.

The Irish company behind the tables, Ellickson International, has some grandiose visions for the tables. For one, it hopes to be building beer tap tables that are connected to the Internet and allow for gaming and ordering food and performing other Webby activities (Facebook at your beer table, perhaps?)

We'll see if their vision ever becomes reality.
