Come October, get ready to pour yourself a round in Royal Oak. Lincoln Tap, a new venture by Eastern Market Brewing Co., will be the first of its kind in Michigan, following legislation allowing self-serve booze at bars and restaurants in July...

The self-serve system works through RFID-enabled wristbands that activate the taps and track the ounces being poured.
