The scanner — barcode or label

A can in your hand is a filing in the album.

Every legally sold beer's artwork is on federal file. Point the camera at the barcode — or at the label itself — and we match it to the plate the brewery registered. No barcode, taproom can, tiny run? The label is enough.
