APP SPOTLIGHT - VILLAGGIO DELLA BIRRA




Cluvis Apps would like congratulate Villaggio Della Birra on a successful mobile app launch campaign! With over 250 downloads and great feedback from its users, they have taken their annual beer festival to new heights! Check out their mobile app promo page here: http://www.villaggiodellabirra.com/app/


What is Villaggio Della Birra you ask? Who better to paint the proper picture than the international beer connoisseurs themselves!

"Amongst the sweet rolling hills of the Siennese countryside, rises the village of Bibbiano - not more than a couple of houses. It is in the direct neighbourhood of Buonconvento, in a valley that has been an ongoing inspiration for poets and painters. This year, however, it will not only be the enchanting landscape that will astonish the traveller, fortunate enough to pass by, but also its inhabitants: brewmasters from Belgium and Italy that proudly will display their knowledge and products for him. Beerexperts and Artisans alike will transform the little hamlet into a lively Village of the Beer. The result will be an unforgettable trail, that will enable both the passionate as the curious and the fortuitous amateur of beer to explore the traditional artisanal beers from Belgium, as well as from the vibrant Italian craft beer scene."

Festival Attendees get access to a ton of features:


- One touch calling and GPS directions
- Information about the Village of the Beer
- Rank the beer at the festival
- Use our Beer Cam to send photos of your favorite beer
