Where can I earn and use my Brewniversity credits and rewards dollars?

Participation in Brewniversity, including earning credits, rewards dollars and redeeming rewards and rewards dollars, is valid only at Taco Mac locations in Georgia. The program is not available at the Taco Mac Pelham, AL, location due to state regulations.

 

Do I need to keep track of my purchases?
Check in on the Brewniversity app each visit and provide your check-in code to your server or bartender. Your Brewniversity account tracks your eligible purchases for you.
Your itemized receipt will include a $0.00 Brew Credit, confirming your account is linked, and your beers will count toward your credits. You will also receive a receipt (or “chit”) at the end of your visit showing any credits or rewards earned.

 

How will you contact me?
All communications are sent via email, so make sure you’re opted in to receive emails from Taco Mac. This includes reward notifications, exclusive offers, invitations, and Brewniversity trip updates. If you are not opted in, you will not receive these communications. To update your communication preferences, visit brewniversity.tacomac.com/login/, select Enrollment Info, and toggle your email status to Opted In.

 

How long does it take for my purchases to appear?
Brewniversity credits and rewards dollars will appear after your payment is processed and your check is closed. Any credits or rewards earned will display in your Brewniversity app and on the receipt provided at the end of your visit.
If something appears incorrect, please let a manager know before you leave so it can be resolved right away.

 

Where is my beer history?
Your full Brewniversity history is archived and can be emailed to the email address on your account from the Brewniversity app as an Excel file. This report includes details such as ABV, brewery, style, date, and location.
The Brewniversity app displays only the beers you’ve enjoyed since the last credit reset. To access your full history, select Beer History on the app homepage, then choose Email My History.

 

What is a Chancellor event?
A Chancellor event is a beer event hosted at Taco Mac when a Guest reaches 1,000 Brewniversity credits. The member selects a beer, which will count as a new Brewniversity credit.
If you’ve reached Chancellor status, ask to speak with the Bar Manager at your favorite location to choose your beer and schedule your event. The event will be highlighted in the Brewniversity app.

 

Are there any exclusions?
Due to All Day Everyday Happy Hour pricing, reward dollars are not awarded for select beers, including 20oz or 23oz pours of PBR, Coors Light, and Founder’s Mortal Bloom.
