Newcastle Brown Ale QR Codes

Newcastle is placing QR codes on tap handles in bars where their products are available. Copy around the QR codes encourages consumers to scan the QR code to find the nearest Newcastle beer.

When consumers scan the code, they are directed to a landing page with an arrow that points towards the tap handle and reads, “There it is.”

The content is simple, but effective in driving home the message that consumers do not need to go on a hunt to find hand-crafted beer – it is already available where they are.

Sushi Joint Serves Edible QR Codes

A California sushi restaurant; Harney Sushi’s will print edible, water-based ink quick response (QR) codes on rice paper wafers and serve these codes on its sushi. The QR code will take customers to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s FishWatch website, which will provide diners with information about the fish they’re consuming, sustainable species on Harney’s menu and the latest news coming from the sustainable seafood world. The initial launch will utilize just one code that will lead to the FishWatch homepage, but the program will eventually include species-specific codes.
