Show HN: No parties during Corona? GO BEERCRAWL (gobeercrawl.com)

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.
Looks nice, I'll try it this weekend!
Let me know how it went :)
