Introduction
The Brewing Story — The Beer Worth Understanding
A talking QR code on the flight menu plays the brewing process story — what the New England IPA's haze means in terms of the London Ale III yeast strain whose biotransformation of the Citra and Mosaic hop compounds the brewer targeted for the tropical aroma the style's defining characteristic requires and what the dry hop contact time whose extension the last batch involved produced for the mango and the papaya the guest's nose identifies before the first sip, what the imperial stout's barrel aging involves in terms of the bourbon barrels from the Kentucky distillery the head brewer sourced whose four years of spirit contact the oak's vanilla and the caramel notes the tasting notes describe, and what the guest who "doesn't drink dark beers" says the brewer's taproom explanation of the lactose addition and the vanilla bean contact produced for their experience of the pastry stout they almost skipped on the flight menu. A guest who receives this brewing story orders the second flight rather than the single pint the undifferentiated tap list would have produced.
The Mug Club Story — The Community Worth Joining
A talking QR code at the taproom bar plays the mug club story — what the brewery's mug club membership involves in terms of the personalized mug whose hook on the taproom wall marks the member's belonging to the community the brewery has been building since the first batch, the member pricing whose per-visit savings the regular who comes twice a month calculates as the membership fee recovered in the fourth visit, and what the member who joined the mug club on the brewery's second anniversary says the community the membership produced means for their relationship with the taproom and the brewers whose new release conversations the member who visits regularly gets to have before the Instagram announcement the non-member waits for. A guest who receives this mug club story joins the brewery community the single-visit tap list transaction was never going to produce.
