A collab beer sits in the catalogue of every brewery that brewed it, each with its own products, prices and partners. BeerCollab links them, so what one brewery corrects reaches the other, and every wholesaler gets the same allergens from both.
One brewery invites, the other joins with the beer it wants in its catalogue. From then on the two beers are linked.
Brouwerij De Kade invites Brouwerij Noorderlicht to a collab on Hazy Together. Both breweries keep the beer in their own catalogue, linked.
Message from Brouwerij De Kade“Great brew day! Let’s keep the specs the same on both sides.”
View the invitationPer field, each brewery chooses what happens with a change the other brewery makes. The name keeps your own value to start with: “A × B Hazy” at one brewery is often “B × A Hazy” at the other.
The change becomes a proposal on your beer page and in your Inbox: take it over or dismiss it. The default for every field but the name.
The change is taken over straight away. Useful for the fields you trust the other brewery with, such as allergens.
The change is not forwarded, and you keep your own value.
Each brewery keeps its own beer and products. A collab only carries the fields that describe the beer itself.
A collab never writes a value your ERP manages. Such a change becomes a to-do, “Change in Douano”, that closes by itself once the import brings the value.
How the ERP integration works →The other brewery sees your collab beer's name and the fields a collab carries. Never your other products, partners, agreements or other prices; your partners see nothing of the collab.
Prices only travel between breweries that sell in the same currency. When both of you sell the same can, you may take its GTIN, even in GTIN strict mode, with the other brewery named as its owner.
Whether other breweries may invite you is a choice of its own, next to your directory visibility.
Until you choose, you are open while partners can find you in the brewery directory. Closed to new partners and open to collabs, or the other way round: both are possible.
How the directory works →Breweries that are open show in a list only other breweries see, with their name, place and logo. An invitation always waits for you to accept it.
Your beer and products stay in your catalogue. Only the link ends, and the changes still waiting lapse.
Twenty minutes with the app open: we link a collab beer of yours together, and choose per field what happens with the other brewery's changes.
