 ”Certainly one of the most eye-catching out of the over 50 national pavilions at this year’s Venice Architecture Biennale is the one representing Russia. Dubbed “easily the most popular pavilion in the Giardini” by World Architects, Russia’s pavilion shocks its visitors as every surface inside of it is covered in QR codes. Visitors are encouraged to enter the innovation city called Skolkovo and use iPads to decode the concept for the actual Skolkovo, which is Russia’s futuristic city-in-planning (their equivalent of a Silicon Valley) which will be located near Moscow.”

The New Zealand brewing company Yeastie Boys has created QR Coded open source beer! They provide the recipe for their Digital IPA via a QR Code label on the bottle. Digital IPA is an India Pale Ale that features five QR Codes on the metallic blue label. The five QR Codes link to different web pages including Facebook and Twitter accounts but one of the QR Codes resolves to the full recipe of the beer, which may make Digital IPA the world’s first commercial open source beer.

New Zealand brewing company Yeastie Boys received a gold medal for their label design. They were awarded gold for their open source Digital IPA in the Packaging Class at the Sutton Group Brewers Guild of New Zealand Beer Awards held August 2012.

Christchurch design company Deflux worked on the label for Digital IPA – a beer named after a 1978 song by post punk band Joy Division – after the Yeastie Boys mentioned they wanted to make the recipe open source.
