For anyone skeptical of the unmanned aerial vehicle trend, one intrepid Hong Kong resident has found a good use for his drone. YouTuber Eli Kallison rigged one to deliver a beer to a friend on a rooftop. “Hong Kong beer delivery service, coming soon to a rooftop near you,” he said.

In 2014, American authorities decided to prohibit beer delivery by drone. It is unclear whether Kallison’s business idea could take off in Hong Kong.

Last year, another drone enthusiast tested chocolate delivery by drone.
