This one is a pretty cool beer dispensing system. A Googler by the name of Paul Cariff has come up with it, and uses a Motorola Xoom running ICS with an Arduino microcontroller. Called KegDroid, the activation of the dispenser requires a form of authentication which is done through a "badge" which is essentially an NFC card...
The Xoom acts as a gatekeeper to that brewed goodness, only letting the bot dispense drinks after users swipe an authorized badge. The badge is read by an NFC scanner on the bottom of the case and is then authenticated (or rejected) by the Arduino board. Once the system grants access, users can choose from two selections on tap via a custom Android application displayed on the Xoom's screen.

According to the Android Community the KegDroid hasn't mastered a bartender-level pour (meaning, there's way too much foam!). But it's pretty cool nonetheless.
