Abstract: A beer keg or other beverage container is provided with a user link that can be linked with a mobile device. Each keg is identified by its user link. When the keg is filled, the fill date and information regarding the contents (e.g. specific flavor and production information) are associated with that keg on a server. The filled keg is shipped to a distributor, restaurant or bar. When the keg is tapped, the employee activates the link with a mobile device to access the stored information. The date, time and location of this activation is also provided to the server from the user's mobile device. Subsequently, when a potential customer is looking for a beer, he can use an app or data-providing service that will show him his preferred beer, the date and time the keg was tapped, optionally coupons or other incentives, and the location of the restaurant/bar.
