Drinkify Your Pandora While You Songify That Turntable

Posted by Celby Richoux on November 08, 2011

It seems like every other week another music service comes bubbling to the surface. Don’t get us wrong, we’ve been addicted to Pandora for ages, hopped onto Turntable, and already synced with our friends on Spotify. These new hubs are a music lover’s dream.

What has been missing this whole time is a drink to complement the mood of the moment. Drinkify, a libation specialization music engine, has filled the niche of what to pour next to the melodious sounds being emitted from your speakers.

Produced during the 2011 Music Hack Day in Boston, three brave musical souls (Hannah Donovan – design, Lindsay Eyink – data, and Matthew Ogle – code) created the site in “24 boozy hours.” With specialized cocktails for each artist, such as the “ZZ Top,” it’s an endless amount of fun whether or not you’re mixing drinks. Cheers!

Carlsberg Introduced ‘Copenhagen’ Beer For The Ladies

Posted by Sara Swiatlowski on May 20, 2011

When I'm out enjoying an adult beverage you'll often find me with something vodka based, or a glass of wine, but deep down I consider myself a beer drinker. When it comes to beer I like it dark, wheat, or unfiltered. It is because of this I'm almost offended by Carlsberg's venture into beer for women.

Having been to the brewery in Copenhagen, the new beer (also called Copenhagen though with a heart in the middle) seems like such a departure from their company heritage. From a business perspective women make up 25% of the beer drinking market, so I understand going after that, but there has to be a better way that doesn't feel so condescending. Personally, I just don't get it, in my mind beer is for everyone and there isn't a need for stylishly designed beer. Especially when the label features a heart.
