Re:Show HN: No parties during Corona? GO BEERCRAWL by gobeercrawl on Thursday August 06, 2020 @12:35PM (#24072595)
Hi guys,

in current times, in most of the world clubs are closed, parties and festivals are cancelled. And bars and other places generally discourage any kind of party, if they're even open. I totally get it. But I'm very disappointed at the total lack of (relatively safe) alternatives. We're basically told to stay home and social life has taken a backseat and remains to do so for a very long time to come. Specifically meeting new people IRL in a relaxed and fun setting has more or less disappeared (apart from one to one Tinder meetups maybe?).

BEERCRAWL (gobeercrawl.com) aims to bring back partying and casually meeting new people in a comparably safe way, by meeting in a smaller group, outside (abiding by all laws of course, like masks and social distancing) and have drinks, conversation, a laugh and generally a good time. Like a pubcrawl, the group follows a certain route, visiting several places to refill beverages.

I'm curious to hear your feedback!

I understand that this might be controversial for some. We've seen protests and gatherings of thousands of people. Compared to that, in a beercrawl one will usually talk to only a handful of people face to face. So it is rather insignificant.

First of, nice looking website! I think you could add some pictures so people can get a better image on what is a beercrawl.

What's your go-to market strategy? Do you intend to start beercrawl around Europe major cities?

Thanks Would love to add pictures of the stops, but that'll be a lot of google api calls. And as this is a passion project right now, I'm trying to avoid all extra costs. Same goes for go-to market strategy. I'm just putting this thing out there. People who like the idea and have a social following can create their crawl and share it.
