Three steps to a thriving beer trail

We handle the tech. You build the community.

01

Recruit your breweries

Sign up 6-12 local breweries, taprooms, or bars. Each gets their own dashboard, QR code, and admin access to manage their profile, events, and beer menus.

02

Launch your trail

We deploy your city's custom subdomain, generate QR codes, and configure everything. Your trail goes live in under 48 hours.

03

Watch them explore

Users scan QR codes, rate beers, collect stamps, complete side quests, and earn free merch. You track it all from the admin dashboard.

Everything you need, nothing you don't

QR Code Check-ins

Each brewery gets a unique QR code. Users scan to check in, rate their beer, and collect a stamp. Manual PIN backup included.

Multi-language Support

Built-in translations for English, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, and more. Perfect for tourist-heavy cities.

Beer Ratings & Reviews

Users rate every beer with 1-5 stars and tasting notes. Breweries see trending beers, read real feedback, and track popularity over time.

Interactive Trail Map

Map showing all breweries with custom pins, dark mode tiles, and walking directions. No API keys required.

Side Quests & Events

Create bonus challenges, food tours, and photo contests. Breweries post their own tap takeovers and specials directly from their dashboard.

Admin Dashboard & Analytics

Two dashboard tiers: super admin HQ and per-brewery. Track check-ins in real time, see beer popularity rankings, and generate print-ready QR codes.

Cross-Trail Network

Every trail promotes every other trail automatically. Geolocation shows users the nearest trails. The more cities that join, the more traffic each gets. Free on every plan.

Leaderboard & Rewards

Fastest completions leaderboard. Automatic merch claim when all stamps collected. Operators see completion rates and real engagement data.

Built for everyone in the craft beer ecosystem

Brewery Owners

Drive new foot traffic to your taproom. Get real-time data on what beers people love. Manage your profile, events, and menu from your own dashboard.

Tourism Boards

Create an iconic attraction for your city. The Ale Trail gives tourists a reason to explore neighborhoods they'd never find on their own.

Entrepreneurs

License The Ale Trail for your city. We provide the platform, you provide the local connections. Low startup cost, recurring revenue.
