FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Beer Stock Exchange ?
Beer Stock Exchange is the name of a cool new German party idea.
Based on the system of a stock exchange, Beer Stock Exchange has been developed to add interactive entertainment in small bistros, public houses, clubs and discotheques of all sizes.
The prices of drinks and other consumables float up and down automatically based on actual sales and reflecting customer demand. Customers are informed of current prices through multi-media display - TV monitors or projector screens.
