The Technology Behind DraftVerify
DraftVerify links NFC tags on real hardware with a cloud registry and verification engine, so every non-alcoholic draft tap can be identified, checked, and proven over time.
- NFC identity for kegs, couplers, and faucets.
- Registry that understands sites, taps, and tags.
- Verification events that create an audit trail.
At a Glance
Three building blocks work together: identity on hardware, a registry in the cloud, and simple verification workflows for people who touch the taps.
NFC Tags on Hardware
Industrial-grade NFC tags attached to kegs, couplers, and (where needed) faucets. Each tag is unique and linked to one place in the system.
- Cold-room and moisture compatible
- Scannable with standard NFC devices
- Mapped directly to DraftVerify IDs
DraftVerify Registry
A cloud registry that understands sites, taps, tags, and events. It’s the single source of truth for what “NA” means on each tap.
- Site & tap configuration
- Tag lifecycle and status
- Exportable logs for QA / legal
Verification Engine
Each scan and checklist becomes an event with a timestamp, location, and person attached. That event history is what makes the system defensible.
- Verification, change, and cleaning events
- Incident recording where needed
- Append-only history for audits
How It Fits Together
From the brewery’s packaging line to the tap handle at a venue, DraftVerify follows the same simple pattern: tag it, register it, connect it, and keep a record.
1. Tag & Encode
Breweries tag NA kegs and couplers and link each tag to the correct product and asset.
2. Register
Tags are activated in the DraftVerify Registry and assigned to lines, faucets, and sites.
3. Scan & Check
Distributors and venues scan tags when connecting kegs, doing checks, or cleaning lines.
4. Prove & Improve
Breweries and groups pull reports to show how NA taps were handled and where to improve.
Who Uses the Technology
DraftVerify is designed so breweries, distributors, and venues all see the same truth — just from their own angle.
Breweries
See where NA kegs are, which taps are verified, and how often they’re being checked and cleaned.
- Footprint of verified NA taps
- Tap-level event history
- Evidence for QA and brand teams
Distributors
Prove that NA draft was kept separate from alcoholic stock through the warehouse and on the truck.
- Warehouse and route checkpoints
- Exception & incident logging
- Support for SLAs and contracts
Venues & Groups
Make NA taps easy to identify and run day-to-day, even with staff turnover and multiple locations.
- Clear “this tap is NA” identity
- Simple checklists instead of manuals
- Multi-venue snapshots for operators
Why the Technology Matters
The goal isn’t just “an app”. It’s a clean, long-term record of how non-alcoholic taps were handled, in case anyone ever asks.
Less Guesswork
When a complaint or question comes in, you can follow the data instead of relying on memory or handwritten notes.
Proof on Demand
Exportable logs and snapshots make it easier to talk to insurers, regulators, or large accounts about NA draft safety.
Same Story Everywhere
The registry, tags, and standards library all use the same language, so everyone is working from one shared definition of “NA draft done right”.
