Thirteen years. Somewhere north of three thousand hours. And today, finally, the first real pages of My Beverage Guide are online.

This has been a long road — and for most of it, the project was held together by the wrong foundations. What’s different now is the structure underneath: everything exists once, connected through relationships, built to grow. That’s the part nobody sees, and it’s the part that took the longest. But it’s why everything from here gets easier.

What’s live today is just a start — a handful of pages, the first recipes, the bones of the thing. There’s a lot more coming, and it’ll arrive faster now that the groundwork is done.

A word on what this is, and what it isn’t: this is a place to look something up and actually find it. Fast, clean, easy to use. Good content, real knowledge. No ads. No marketing. No tracking circus. Just the drinks, the people who make them, and how it all connects.

More soon.
