I'd rather have a beer cannon that shot Bud Light AWAY from me.

Otherwise, it's pretty rad.

Yeah lets take something that fires metal cans at crotch height and put it in the hands of people who drink.  Oh and better yet, let's make the thing controlled via the net. 

This is the whole Jurassic Park argument all over again:

Malcolm:  "Yeah, but your beer scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

and:

Hammond:  "All major beer-related tech has had delays. When they opened Busch Gardens in 1975, nothing worked!"
Malcolm: "But, John. If the Clydesdales break down, the horses don't throw beer at the tourists."

or maybe:

Malcolm:  "God help us; we're in the hands of engineers."

Pretty neat. But I think it would have been just as simple to build a robot to bring it to you.

Plus they lost me when I saw they have PBR on the menu.

less work to just walk over and get a beer

This is brilliant. Anytime you have a friend that comes over to watch the game and brings over ---smurfy---, cheap beer. You just spend the game launching it back into his face. Then, since the beer was flung across the room, the beer will foam all over when opened. So as an additional benefit, you get to yell at your friend for spilling his cheap beer all over your furniture, and make him pay for a cleaning service to clean out your fine leather couch.

As an added bonus, since it is available via phone app, you can see anyone using your rec room when you are away. So if the wife or kids think that because you are away, they can touch your stereo system, you just pop on your phone and launch a cheap beer can into their eye. That will teach them.

Invention of the year right here, folks!

I love it. I think it needs a second or two delay to put your phone down, of course you should be able to catch the beer with one hand.

Ahh the monkey cannon...... that takes me back. 

It sounds good on paper, but there are various issues, like the monkeys scratching and biting when you stuff them down the barrel, hair ball removal, ect.
The biggest problem is the "back spray".  Regular bullets release fire from their rears when ejected from a gun, without going into details just imagine what kinds of things spray out of the rear of a pet monkey.
