Some Sundays don't need an itinerary.

Just a cold one from Erie Brewing Company, a comfortable chair, and nowhere else to be. ☀️

Thursday Tastings 🍺
📍 Two Goats Brewing • Burdett, NY

A scratch-built brewpub overlooking Seneca Lake, and a ceiling covered in real dollar bills.

Flights, pints, cans, growlers, all locally sourced and powered 75% by solar. Plus, their signature Beef-on-Weck.

Their tagline: good beer, good beef, good people. We're not arguing.

This is the kind of independent maker we built DRNKR for. Find them in the app. 🐐

POV: you’ve got a few hours to kill in a city you barely know 👀

Our president Stan was working from an indie coffee shop in Erie, PA and had a free afternoon. So he did what we built DRNKR for — opened the app, looked around, and found 42 craft makers nearby.

42. 🤯😍

We live for discovery moments like this. Wherever you are, there are independent makers worth knowing about. Open the app and see who’s near you.

Happy National Wine Day 🍷

Independent winemaking is a labor of love. Every bottle is the result of months of careful attention from harvest to fermentation to glass.

Thanks to Atwater Wine in the Finger Lakes for beautifully showing what goes into a craft Pinot Noir. Hand-sorting clusters, stomping by foot, choosing only the best fruit — this is the kind of care that makes independent wine special.

Atwater and hundreds more independent wineries live on the DRNKR app.
Open DRNKR. Find your winery. Go say cheers.🍷

Happy National Craft Distillery Day 🥃

Independent craft distilleries are some of the most creative makers in American beverage, small operations turning local grains, fruit, and ideas into spirits you can't find anywhere else.

Check out just a few of our favorites:
🍸️ Battle Rattle — small batch rum, distilled in the heart of the Finger Lakes
🍸️ Hollerhorn Distilling — Naples, NY distillery with a beautiful Neapolitan Gin we can't take our eyes off
🍸️ Black Sheep Distillery — Silver Medal winner for Best Domestic Vodka in The Fifty Best 2025

All three live in the app, alongside hundreds more independent distilleries across the country.

Happy National Craft Distillery Day! 🥃

Couldn't have picked a better week for it: the ACSA just unveiled the Certified Craft Seal, a TTB-approved mark that gives consumers an easy way to spot spirits made by independent U.S. distilleries on the shelf. A real win for the small makers.
