How to create a beer with your own image

There is always something new in the hospitality industry. 

How about printing images from your smartphone into the foam of your beer? 

Sounds wacky, sure, but it has proved a hit at Automata, Centara Grand Hotel Osaka's innovative 32nd-loor bar in Japan's second city. 

Automata is one of several hotel bars operated across Asia by Centara Hotels & Resorts, Thailand’s leading hotel operator. 

I'm told that entering Automata feels like stepping into a science-fiction movie. Think polished chrome, neon lights and a self-service bar where you can blend your own drinks.

I do like the idea of being able to send patterns and images from your smartphone to print in your beer foam. 

Then there are the views with panoramic windows framing Osaka’s skyline. 

Centara has 95 properties spanning destinations including the Maldives, Vietnam, Laos, China, Japan, Oman, Qatar, Turkey and the UAE.
