There’s a “Beer ATM” inside Randolph Beer in Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Leave it to Williamsburg to launch what is the city’s first “Beer ATM” after Paloma Rocket on the Lower East Side, following up other quirky food dispensaries like the Sprinkles Cupcake ATM and Paris’ baguette ATM. Randolph Beer, a bar which has locations in Nolita and Dumbo as well, has a Beer Wall with 24 beers on tap available with a swipe of a credit card at both the Williamsburg and Dumbo locations. There is also a variety of sizing options from a one ounce taster to 12 ounces.
