At last, a magic button that whisks you to the pub for a free beer - CNET

I don't know what it's like where you are, but a heatwave has descended on the UK and half the country's stuck at our desks dreaming of a nice cold ice-cold beer. Wouldn't it be great if you could just push a button that transports you to a bar and puts a tall frosty glass of refreshment in your hand?

Enter the Kozel Tap Out button. This gizmo sits on your desk or in your home, and when you've worked up a sufficient thirst you hit it. With no further ado, a taxi comes straight to you, picks up a friend, and transports you to the nearest pub serving Czech beer Kozel, where two pints are waiting for you.

Sadly, the Tap Out button is a PR stunt that British beer fans can win by tweeting at Kozel on Twitter. But even if you don't win one you can still treat yourself to a free pint at selected UK pubs until Friday by using the Kozel Pint Finder app for Android or iPhone.

You have to be 18 or over to ea free beer. Please drink responsibly. And wear sunscreen!
