Today, we are super excited to launch the Bevvy alpha on World Cocktail Day 2014.
What is Bevvy?
Bevvy is a passion project made for people who drink by people who drink, and we made it while having a few. Our mission is to catalog the world of cocktails, spirits and beers — and make it easy for people to discover great libations.
Why Bevvy?
We’re in a second golden era of drinking, and more people drink cocktails, spirits and beers than ever before. But most people tend to drink what they know, or what’s most popular at the moment, missing an entire world of amazing libations. Bevvy seeks to change all that.
What’s a Bees Knees look like? Will I like a Widow’s Kiss? Does a Corpse Reviver taste sweet? How’s about a Rattlesnake? A cocktail menu is like a dating site without photos – creative names sound cool and sophisticated but does little to tell you what it tastes like. Bevvy makes drinks come alive with beautiful pictures, descriptions, backstories, ingredients, preparation info, and more.
Data-driven and Social
While many cocktail sites tend to be editorially-driven and recipes tend to be article posts, Bevvy is a data-driven web app that dives deeper into the relationships of an alcoholic drink with its multiple facets, including the recipe (original and variations), base spirits (such as whiskey or rum), mixers and other ingredients, historical and cultural significance, bartenders, venues, and more. View alternate variations of a drink, fork a classic recipe to add your own twist, follow drink menus you like, or create your own drink menus, and more.
Social is built right into the DNA of Bevvy, because let’s face it, drinking is social and Bevvy makes it easy to share what you’re drinking with your friends.
Come Bevvy with us!
The Bevvy Crew has been working around the clock to launch this on time, so you can enjoy a drink in one hand and Bevvy in the other on World Cocktail Day. This is our first release and just the beginning – we have so much more that’s coming to help you booze better informed.
Check us out at https://bevvy.co. We work on all modern browsers including tablet and mobile. Now let’s raise some glasses!
Cheers and love,
The Bevvy Crew (and Mixture Labs)
