They have a chalkboard menu of what's on tap.
Rather than type in changes to the chalkboard, they just take a picture of said chalkboard and post that.
That's a HECK of a lot more useful than just posting a picture of a glass of beer, if you ask me.

More Places Should Do This
In checking out The Station Taproom in Downingtown, Pa. (as it turns out, they're only across the street from the SEPTA/Amtrak Downingtown passenger rail station, not actually *in* it as I'd hoped--though Downingtown has little more than a bus-stop shelter as its "station," as its PRR depot was demolished in the 1990s), I found their Facebook page.

That IS smart!
That's what I *used* to do at Max's and uploaded a pic of the beer menu to Twitter in real-time... until they went to 102 taps and the beer menu went to legal sized paper! Luckily, Casey's brother is taking over their Twitter account and will update each day (/crossing my fingers.)
Smart move by The Station Taproom. Always great to know what is on tap before arriving at a place.
I miss the condensation running down the glass, the foamy head and the shape of the glass....but I guess this is useful too.
@ Brad: Legibility is a factor. Twitter updates would be great, but at the same time it only takes a little prep work and then a few keystrokes to update a website spreadsheet daily. I doubt anyone is taking seriously the actual proposal that they hook up RFD tags to each keg so they would automatically update an online menu and/or flatscreen menu every time a beer was changed out. That starts to throw more technology at a perceived problem (as in, too many beers to choose from is a problem?!?) than is practical.
