How much do you hate waiting for another beer in a crowded bar? 你有多讨厌在拥挤的酒吧中等待啤酒？ It irked Josh Goodman enough to invent a pretty obvious solution -- self-service beer taps. 乔希·古德曼就非常厌烦这个，还因此发明了显而易见的解决之道：自助啤酒机。 Goodman, 36, recalled the exact moment in late 2008 when his frustration boiled over. 36岁的古德曼回忆起2008年末，他的挫折感达到了极点的那一刻。 "I was hanging out with my friends at a Baltimore sports bar before an Orioles game," he said. "We just couldn't get another beer served to us quickly." “那是在一次金莺队比赛前，我和朋友去巴尔的摩（Baltimore）的一家运动酒吧打发时间，服务员迟迟不给我们上另一杯啤酒。” Even more than being annoyed, Goodman was struck by how much money the bar must be losing. Almost immediately, he got to work on a self-service beer concept. 除了感到恼火，古德曼更震惊的是这样这家酒吧会损失多少收入。他几乎立即就有了研制自助啤酒机的想法。 Within a few months, Goodman had launched PourMyBeer in Chicago (where he'd relocated to be with his wife). 仅仅几个月后，古德曼就在芝加哥创立了PourMyBeer公司（为了与妻子生活在一起，他迁居到了芝加哥）。 |
