Keg tracking for the whole supply chain

You brew it. Then it disappears.

Kegscapade puts a durable QR/NFC tag on every keg you ship. Each scan, from pickup to pour to return, lands on one dashboard. Breweries, distributors, and bars finally see where the beer is, how fresh it is, and whether the keg is coming back.

How it works

Tag it

Industrial-grade QR/NFC tags go on once. They survive keg washing, cold storage, and a busy bar.

Track it

Drivers scan on pickup and drop. Bars scan when a keg goes on tap. Every scan is timestamped and located.

Know it

See every keg and account in real time. Overdue kegs get flagged and stale beer gets caught before it's poured.

Not just kegs. The same scannable code goes on packaged beer, so cases and cans get the same freshness check and chain of custody from dock to shelf to fridge.

Built for every tier

Breweries

Find every keg. Get it back.

  • Live keg map by location and status
  • Overdue alerts at 60 days
  • Batch traceability and recalls in minutes
  • Sell-through by account

Distributors

Routes and inventory, under control.

  • Driver app: about 10 seconds per keg
  • Live inventory at every account
  • Automatic return pickup tasks
  • Audit-ready chain of custody

Bars & restaurants

Scan a keg. Your tap list updates.

  • Website tap list updates on scan
  • One script tag, or a free hosted page
  • “Tapped 2 days ago” shown to guests
  • Reorder alerts to your rep

Beer drinkers

Scan the code. Know your beer.

  • Keg badge, can, or bottle. No app needed
  • Days since packaging, right now
  • The beer's full journey to the glass
  • Points and brewery offers

Why bars scan: it keeps their own tap list current. Each scan also tells the brewery its beer just went on tap, which is the most valuable signal in the supply chain, and nobody had to be asked for it.
