After developing a stigma nearly 20 years ago, boxed wine is on the verge of making a comeback thanks to environmental issues and the success of screw tops on the market. After the major disappearance of party balls and the inability of the Heineken Mini Keg to gain any real traction, the beer industry could head the same way. An engineering student in Australia has developed a way to efficiently store beer in a cardboard container.
“With a two-pronged focus on cost and environmental impact, Hussey’s invention eschews pricier bottles, kegs and cans in favor of a revolutionary collapsible container that maintains the CO2 pressure while barring oxygen. And it’s turned heads. Hussey is one of 14 finalists in the student category of the 2010 Australian Design Award and the Australian component of the James Dyson Award who will advance to the global competition.”
My only question would be whether or not there is a way to cool the beer. Besides that, it works in every way for tailgating.
