Abstract
Certain aspects relate to systems and techniques for smart draft beer taps that can dynamically vary flow rate and control the amount of dispensed head based on one or more of sensed parameters of the beer, the draft beer environment, characteristics of the beer, and on brewery specified pouring standards. The disclosed systems provide networked data communication relating to bar draft beer pouring conditions.
Claims24
A networked draft beverage system comprising:
- a fluid dispensing tap configured for pouring a beverage, the fluid dispensing tap including a housing having a fluid path extending therethrough from an input aperture to an output aperture in a spout of the tap;
- at least one sensor positioned along the fluid path and configured to generate parameter data representing a parameter of fluid flowing along the fluid path and/or at least one sensor positioned along a beverage delivery fluid path of a fluid delivery system providing beverage to the tap and configured to generate parameter data representing a parameter of the fluid flowing along the beverage delivery fluid path;
- and
- a network connectivity module configured to transmit the parameter data over a network;
- a server remote from the fluid dispensing tap and including:
- a module configured to connect the server to the network to receive the parameter data;
- a data repository configured to store the parameter data;
- an analytics engine configured to analyze the parameter data;
- and
- a recommendations engine configured to:
- generate a recommendation or report based on the analytics engine analyzing the data.
