Fake Beer - Drinking Simulator

Tilt it. Watch it pour.

A pint that pours, sloshes and refracts the real room behind it — because the camera is live, not a picture. Tilt to drink. Nothing is faked except the beer.

Get it See how it works

Why it looks real

Every other virtual pint is a picture, a video, or a coloured quad with a wobble. This one traces light through it, pixel by pixel, from the same physics a real glass obeys.

The colour is not painted on

Beer has no colour of its own — it is a filter, and the amber-to-black range comes from how far light travels through it. The colours here are derived from SRM, the brewing industry's own colour measurement, so the edge of a pint is genuinely a shade lighter than the middle, the way a real one is.

The room behind it is your room

The camera behind your phone is live, so the glass refracts your actual table, your actual kitchen, whatever is really there — not a stock photo standing in for one. Say no to the camera and it refracts a synthetic room instead; everything else still works.

The liquid holds its volume

Tilt the glass and the surface moves to wherever holds the same amount of liquid, solved geometrically rather than animated. The sloshing is the glass's own real resonance, not a canned wobble — which is why it settles the way a real one does instead of stopping dead.

Five drinks, two glasses

Styles, not products — nothing here is a real brand's beer.

Lager, Bitter, Stout

Three beer styles, each with its own real colour depth and head character — a stout's head is barely tinted by the beer under it, the way a real one is, because the films between the bubbles are microns thick.

Red wine, White wine

Its own bowl shape, sized differently for red and white, the way a real set of glassware would be — not a pint glass with the liquid recoloured.

Nonic or conical

Pints get a choice of glass shape. A small thing, and one more place this refuses to look like a generic mug of amber liquid.

Don't Spill

Fill it to the brim and see how long you can carry it before a drop goes over the rim. Graded on what actually happened to the liquid, not a script.

Split the Drinks

Pour a fresh one and try to stop, by feel alone, at exactly half. Both games end with a result you can share.

Held the way you actually hold your phone

Upside-down mode flips the whole picture so the notch sits by the base of the glass rather than through the middle of the head. Condensation builds over time and wipes away under a real finger.

Your room, your privacy

The camera frame goes straight to the screen and is released — nothing is recorded, saved or sent anywhere. The one exception: finishing a game and choosing to share composes a single picture for you to send, and only then.
