A total of six drinking fountains are installed in the main square of Zalec, a city located 70 kilometers from the capital Ljubljana. If uninformed visitors try to refill their water bottle at the water fountain, they will be surprised with a free, fizzy beer.
According to Vanessa's speech in the video, the action is part of a local government campaign to promote tourism. The measure worked because the drinking fountain became the city's postcard and one of the main reasons for visiting Slovenia.

How to use the draft beer fountain?
To consume the drink, the consumer must purchase the cup on site as it is the only container that can activate the water fountains. This is because the cup has a chip at the bottom that communicates with the drinking fountain and releases the drink. The glass costs 10 euros (according to the current price 53 R$).
After purchasing the mug, all you have to do is choose one of the six types of beer available to the population. When purchasing the cup, the consumer has the right to fill it six times and try any of the varieties on offer. If you want to repeat a drink, you will have to top up the chip for another 10 euros and will then be entitled to 10 more cans.
After drinking the beer, tourists can take the mug home as a souvenir as the mug has the name of the city engraved on it. In the comments on the video, many people expressed delight at the local government's initiative, saying this is “paradise on earth.”
