Why VirtualBeers exists

What hurts is friendship turning into nostalgia. We'd talk once or twice a year. We loved each other, but every conversation was the same recap. Work, family, the last trip. Then an awkward silence. We no longer shared the everyday.

One day I had a very simple idea: what if instead of "having a call", we just met up? Like when we lived nearby. "Hey, fancy a drink on Tuesday at nine?"

First with Diego. Then with Chiara. Then with Marta. Each of us went to a bar in our own city, ordered something, and we video-called. They all said the same thing: what a great idea, let's do it.

They didn't just like it. They got excited. The anticipation of "I have plans with a friend" was already a joy. And afterwards, the feeling of having been together.

When you repeat the ritual, something happens: you get the everyday back. The silly stuff. Conversations that flow. Friendship in the present, not just in memory.

VirtualBeers.app exists so you don't have to explain it every time, so you remember to meet, and so your friends do it with theirs too.
