QR Codes for Breweries & Taprooms
The tap list changes when a keg kicks. The table tent doesn't have to.
Every taproom knows the ritual: a keg kicks mid-shift and someone climbs a ladder to fix the chalkboard. A dynamic QR code on the table tent or flight paddle points at your live tap list - update it from the bar in seconds and every table sees the change. The same codes carry your story further: a can label code opens tasting notes and food pairings, a coaster code signs people up for the mug club, and a growler tag points at this week's fills. When the seasonal rotates, you edit a link, not your print order.
Why use a dynamic QR code for this
Tap list that's never wrong
Kick a keg, update the link from the bar - table tents, flight cards, and the window sign all correct themselves.
Labels that tell the story
A code on the can opens tasting notes, ABV details, and the story behind the beer - the stuff the label is too small for.
Regulars on tap
Coaster and receipt codes feed your mug club or newsletter, so the taproom crowd hears about releases first.

FAQ
Does this work with Untappd?
Yes - point the code at your Untappd for Business menu page and it stays live as you update taps there. If you move to your own site later, repoint the code.
Are QR codes on alcohol labels allowed?
Codes linking to product info are common on beer packaging, but label rules vary by country and state - run new label artwork past your usual label-approval process.
Can I change where the QR code points after printing?
Yes - with a dynamic QR code. It encodes a short redirect link, so you can update the destination anytime from your dashboard and every printed copy instantly points to the new URL. Static codes encode the destination directly and can't be changed.
Do these QR codes expire?
No. Static QR codes are free forever and never expire - they encode your destination directly and don't depend on our servers. Dynamic codes keep working as long as your account is active, and you can pause or re-point them whenever you like.
Can I track how many people scan it?
Yes. Dynamic QR codes come with real-time scan analytics: total scans plus device, location, and time-of-day breakdowns, so you can see exactly which placement is working. Scan tracking is part of the Pro plan.
Is there a watermark on the QR code?
No. Every QR code you create - free or paid - is watermark-free and downloadable as a crisp PNG or scalable SVG, ready for print at any size.
Do I need an app to scan the code?
No. Every modern iPhone and Android camera scans QR codes natively - just point the camera at the code and tap the link that appears. No special app required.
