About DRINK-O-TRON

This site was quickly (and very roughly) cobbled together by Andy Hawkes because he's already done something similar for food in the form of CHEF-O-TRON and it seemed like a good idea to expand it into the drinks world.

Anyway, so far that initial inspiration has resulted in:

• A not-entirely serious beverage idea generator
• An entire(ly not very serious) craft beer generator
• A unique cocktail generator

"So what's next?" I (don't) hear you cry?
How about:

• A twitter bot that tweets out random beer ideas
• Maybe some kind of blog featuring:
  • Beer industry news, reviews and commentary?
  • Some kind of brewery / tap room listing?
  • Pub, bar and tap room reviews^*?
  • Light-hearted beer reviews^*?
• Or maybe nothing at all - it depends whether the whim takes me (and how busy I am with my day job)!

^* We've still not got back into going out very often at the moment (something something pandemic something...), and fancy nights out are even rarer, but I am very open to blatant bribery and corruption if you want to offer me some free beer...

If you would like to join in the beverage madness, you can tweet your drink suggestions and follow @drink_o_tron on Twitter.

If you are a fellow web geek you can check out the current array of beverage options and suggest new ones on GitHub (but don't look at the code too closely because it's horrible and ugly and very quickly cobbled together).

Credits

For the craft beer generator, the list of beer styles came from the Brewers Association style list, and the list of hop varieties came from hopslist.com.
The rest of it is all my own nonsense.
