Abstract:
The communication system indentifies the beer keg to a brewery which fills the keg and identifies the date on which the beer keg is filled. A sensor system is attachable to or built into the beer keg, including a temperature sensor for the beer and a location sensor for the keg. The communication system transmits the sensor information to data storage associated with the brewery. Information is provided directly between the brewery and the sensor system on the keg.

Claim (Index 1):
A communication system for monitoring the use of beer kegs and the beer contained therein, for a brewery which in operation fills the kegs with beer and communicates directly with the kegs, comprising:\n a sensor system, which includes a processor and temporary data storage, attachable to a beer keg which when filled moves between the brewery and a selected destination; a two-way information communication link which directly connects the brewery and the sensor system attached to the keg concerning filling of the keg with beer by the brewery and the status of the keg and the beer therein during transportation of a filled keg to a destination, including providing information to the brewery from the sensor system that the keg has arrived at to brewery for fillings, wherein information provided by the brewery to the sensor system includes confirmation to the sensor system that the keg is ready to be filled by the brewery following cleaning of the keg and otherwise making the keg ready to be filled by the brewery, and wherein information acquired by the sensor system in operation is provided to said processor therein and from there to said temporary data storage and then to the brewery; wherein the information acquired by the sensor system includes the temperature of the beer in the keg and the location of the keg, as the keg moves from the brewery to the destination, wherein the sensor system provides an alert to the brewery when the temperature of the beer is out of a standard temperature range; and wherein all information acquired by the sensor system is uploaded directly from the temporary data storage in the sensor system to the data storage associated with the brewery over the communication network and wherein all information provided by the brewery to the sensor system is provided directly to the processor therein over the communication link.
