    Greetings,

    I recently acquired this "whatever it is" and was told that it was part of a beer tap system. I have never seen anything like it nor can I find anything that looks like it online. I'm not even sure that it even had anything to do with beer.

    It had been installed in an old bar that was likely about 75 years old.

    Any ideas?

    I think I figured it out. I think its a multi bottle manifold for putting lots of booze on a gun. Can anyone confirm?

    Thanks!

    Why would you put lots of (or any) booze on a gun?

    Booze and guns don't mix!

    do you have any closer pics?
    i'm guessing he meant gun as in like the "soda" type guns that serve soda at bars.

    What would carbonated bourbon taste like? I must go home and load up the carb capper immediately!

    helps prevent over pouring, helps control costs, gives a consistent pour every time, 1.75 bottles of booze are cheaper than liters, should I go on?

    prevents bar flies, helps promote cleanliness (just did 2 for the sarcasm)
