Beer-Brewing Bender is How Bender Would Want to Exist
Posted by Adam Frucci at 5:15 AM on December 18, 2007
This life-sized model of Bender hides a secret inside, and it's not a hatred of humanity. No, that's no secret. This Bender is also a beer brewer. And you thought Bender couldn't get any cooler.
Inspired from a Futurama episode in which Bender did actually brew beer (Season 3, Episode 12: The Route of All Evil, for those of you keeping track at home), this contraption is a labour of love that's been under construction since this summer. It's really a work of art, looking like it stepped right off the screen. Inside its stomach is the brewing mechanisms and in its head is a functioning computer that plays Bender sayings on command. It even features a cigar that lights up thanks to a handy pen light/felt contraption. And, of course, it brews beer in its belly, which makes it that much better. Totally worth six months of work if you ask me. Be sure to check out the website to see all the detail that went into making Beer Brewing Bender a reality. [Project page]

Like so many other things, brewing is merely a primitive form of bending.

Is the carboy also made in mexico?
Now all we need is a detachable beard for a Flexo disguise.

The location of the dispenser nozzle cracks me up - just as Bender would like I suppose. Hahahahaha.

That is brilliant; Northern Brewer should license the idea. "Kiss my shiny metal carboy!" Heh.

You guys probably didn't intend this, but you can free-view these two images as a stereo image. The photographer probably moved a step to one side or the other when taking the two shots. Cool.

@himself: Maybe its just the angle, but I swear he looks to be smiling BIGGER in the pic with his door open. Maybe thats leering.

@omg-ponies: I was thinking Benderbrau if it's an ale, Botweiser if it's a lager.

Where's the NSFW tag? Bender's flashin to all of us and we're cheering.

Well, this could happen already. Take your robotics expert, use a bendable (no pun intended) oled screen for the teeth and the brain of Phil Lamar.
Once the series end, so we can have Phil's voice, i don't see why this wouldn't be achievable.
