I’m proud to say that Beerby 1.0 has been accepted into the Appstore by Apple on its first submission. Beerby is an application for users to track, share, and find beer while competing with their friends along the way. It’s the first application released that is powered by the Levlr Game Mechanics platform we’ve been working on for a few months now.

The basic feel of Beerby is a structured tracking application for the beer drinking adventures of you and your friends. You can track what you drink and where you drink it, thus enabling the Beerby community to find the beers they are looking for in your geographical area. We integrate with Foursquare so that Beerby can check you in while you tracking your favorite beverage. Our achievement engine lets you earn badgers (not badges, we already have enough of those) for your valiant efforts in beer consumption. 

We’re already submitting an update to Beerby this week that will allow users to compete more directly with both their friends and the general public on who just is the king of Coors Light, or… perhaps something a bit more tasty like the upcoming Southern Tier Imperial Pumking of which I plan to be a major contender. There’s also a ton of other fixes and enhancements that are expected for a 1.0 release :)

This is our first example of the type of application that can be built using the toolkit that we’ve created. We plan to offer the API and Platform to users and businesses to create exciting applications to motivate their customers and end users, and also offer Levlr as an integration point so that existing applications can add game mechanics to their offerings.

If you are a bar or restaurant and want to promote your beer selection through Beerby, please contact us at Levlr. If you’ve got an iPhone, please download Beerby now and get all your friends on board!
