Anecdotally, I don't think this panned out. I worked out of a WeWork in August (10 months after the article) and there was no key card restriction on the tap. However, compared to the (different) WeWork I worked at in 2017, the tap seemed to get locked up much earlier. Didn't make sense to me at the time versus opening the tap later; it was almost incentive to drink around 5 or 6 instead of waiting until later (I tend to work later) if you wanted a free beer. Also worthy to note: instead of two taps for beer (at my WeWork in 2017), there was one for kombucha and one for beer.
