The Experiment Why We Call It That
It started with a simple observation: the best conversations happen over a cold beer.
Growing up in a brewery, I learned that the best ideas don’t come from boardrooms. They come from conversations over beer – loose, honest, and wildly creative.
What I Witnessed Growing Up
When you grow up around beer – a family brewery where people gather, celebrate, and connect – you notice something interesting about human nature.
Sober conversations are polite. Professional. Careful. People edit themselves, present their “best” ideas, play it safe.
But after a beer or two? That’s when the magic happens.
I watched it countless times growing up. People would come to our brewery for custom batches – weddings, business launches, celebrations. And during those conversations, after sharing a few pints, they’d stop filtering. They’d share their crazy ideas, wild dreams, half-baked concepts that sounded insane but had kernels of genius buried inside.
“What if we…” they’d say, eyes lighting up.
“You know what would be amazing…” they’d continue, leaning in.
“This might sound stupid, but…” they’d add, then pitch something brilliant.
The Pattern I Discovered
Here’s what I realized over years of observing these beer-fueled conversations:
Drunk ideas aren’t stupid. They’re uninhibited.
When people drink, they don’t become less intelligent – they become less afraid. They stop self-censoring. They stop worrying about sounding foolish or unprofessional. They share ideas they’d never bring up in a conference room.
And buried in that stream of consciousness? Some of the most innovative, creative, game-changing business concepts I’ve ever heard.
The problem wasn’t the ideas. The problem was that most people would wake up the next day, remember what they said, and dismiss it as “drunk talk.” They’d go back to their safe, conventional thinking.
I started thinking: What if someone took those uninhibited ideas seriously? What if someone captured that creative energy and applied business discipline to it?
The Best Business Ideas Sound Crazy… Until They Work
What We Learned
Inhibition Kills Innovation
The biggest barrier to breakthrough ideas isn’t lack of intelligence – it’s fear of looking stupid. Beer removes that fear. We create that same psychological safety without the hangover.
Rough Ideas Need Refinement
Every “crazy drunk idea” has potential – it just needs someone to extract the core insight and apply discipline. Like brewing: start with raw ingredients, refine through process, deliver something excellent.
Creative Energy Is Contagious
When one person shares a wild idea, others build on it. The best brainstorming happens when people feel safe to be ridiculous. We cultivate that environment in our work.
Business Needs Both Sides
Wild creativity without execution is just talk. Rigid execution without creativity is boring. The magic happens when uninhibited ideas meet professional discipline. That’s our entire methodology.
People Are Smarter Relaxed
Not because alcohol makes you smart, but because relaxation lets your real intelligence surface. We work with clients in ways that feel collaborative, not transactional.
Experiments Are Essential
My great-grandfather’s best beer recipes came from experiments. My father’s best perfumes came from trial and error. My best digital strategies come from testing wild ideas. Experimentation is how craft happens.
How This Shapes Our Work
When you work with dropt.beer, we don’t start with a formal presentation and a stuffy proposal. We start with a conversation – the kind of conversation people have over beer.
We want to hear your wild ideas. The things you’d never say in a pitch meeting. The concepts that sound too ambitious, too weird, too risky. Because that’s where the gold is.
Then we do what drunk people can’t: we take those ideas and execute them with precision. We apply digital marketing expertise, AI development, strategic thinking, and professional craft to make those “crazy ideas” actually work.
That’s why we call everything we do an “experiment.” Not because we’re guessing or being reckless. Because we believe in testing unconventional ideas with the same rigor a brewmaster tests a new recipe.
Some experiments fail. That’s fine – we learn and adjust. But the successful experiments? Those become the custom solutions that make your business unforgettable.
Let’s Experiment Together
Got a wild idea you’ve been too afraid to share? A concept that sounds crazy but might just work? A business challenge that needs unconventional thinking?
Let’s talk about it. No judgment, no corporate formality, just honest conversation about what’s possible.
