Hi-tech Beer Garden

Coconut Telegraph

Sarasota's first of its kind, Mandeville Beer Garden has taken the traditional German beer garden model, offering 30 draught beers and 150 bottles and enhanced it with 21st century A/V technology and automatic control system.  Rebekah Gelvin, Mandeville's owner and operator, outfitted the establishment with advanced technologies designed to lighten the load for her and the staff, centered around an ELAN control system that automates the audio, video, lighting, surveillance cameras and HVAC.  The beer garden’s lights, TVs and speakers all automatically turn on 30 minutes before opening and off 30 minutes and after closing. In addition  a smart lighting timeline self-adjusts the lighting levels throughout the day to match ambient light. Combine that with an intelligent HVAC schedule, an integrated security system, 10 IP surveillance cameras and three separate zones of audio and video,  the ELAN control system plays an essential role in the beer garden’s operations.
