About DRNKR
Connecting craft beverage lovers & makers in a whole new way.
Where it all began
DRNKR was born behind the bar at Seneca Lake Brewing Company, home of New York State's oldest dedicated cask ale brewery.
Seneca Lake Brewing Company and The Beerocracy was recently featured in Forbes as a 'pub unlike any other in America.'
Bradley Gillett — founder, brewery owner, and long-time tech innovator — kept hearing the same frustrations from guests: "I wish I knew which wineries have the wines I like." "Why is it so hard to find cideries or distilleries nearby?" "I want to plan a tasting tour, but I don't know where to start."
Before opening his brewery, Bradley helped build enterprise travel software designed to organize complex, real-time information. If technology could transform travel, he believed it could transform craft beverage discovery, too.
Built by someone who lives both worlds
Bradley understands the craft beverage community from two angles:
As a maker:
He owns and operates a brewery and pub, and knows firsthand how hard it is to attract visitors, promote new releases, and compete with larger brands.

He helped design and launch software that connects users with complex, real-time data, exactly the kind of intelligence the industry has been missing. Together with President Stan Olevnik, Bradley set out to bring that same expertise to everywhere.
The problem we're solving
The craft beverage world is vibrant but deeply fragmented. Most tools rely on static, outdated information that leaves consumers frustrated and small businesses struggling to reach the right guests.
Consumers want:
- Real-time menus
- Personalized recommendations
- Easy group planning
- A place to save tasting notes
- Experiences that match their unique palate
Makers need:
- Affordable, modern marketing tools
- Real-time updates
- Ways to showcase new releases and events
- Access to high-intent guests
- Support that builds loyalty and drives repeat visits
