IRL Nation

Share The Love. Get Free Stuff.

IRL Nation (In Real Life!) is a new activator network pairing great beverage brands with great people ready to share them with their communities, or conduct in-store and event samplings. Signing up is free, you can leave at any time, and with a focus on real-life interactions, there’s no requirement for a social media following. Take the latest brands to run club, the yoga studio, or your next dinner party and revel in the awesomeness of sharing craft curations with friends and community. Are you a brand interested in taking advantage of this service? Contact us here.

STEP #1 - Join IRL Nation!

Sign up to join our platform, and tell us what groups or clubs you may be able to help share samples with (optional). There’s no cost or obligation, ever, and you can withdraw at any time.

STEP #2 - Get Selected

When a brand is interested we’ll share your info (physical address) for them to ship directly, sending you a heads-up via text to be on the lookout.

STEP #3 - Wait For Awesomeness

Once your goodies arrive get ready to sample some deliciousness, and provide your feedback to the brand on what you loved or didn’t love about them.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Do I need to have social media accounts or a minimum number of followers to join?

Nope! This platform is all about getting samples in hands, in real life. That said, unless you have heard otherwise from a brand, you are certainly encouraged to share your sampling experiences in social media as you wish.

Once I tell a brand I’ll hand out samples with my club or group, or for myself, am I legally bound to do so?

Well, technically no. However, as IRL Nation is a community aimed at matching great new brands (many of whom are small businesses) with those excited to sample and share, we do ask that to stay in the platform you make every effort to fulfill your end of the bargain. We reserve the right to remove anyone who isn’t doing that. As the brands are taking on all the expense of shipping, etc. we want to make sure this is fair to everyone involved.

What else is required?

After you have had a chance to try out the samples and share with your group, we ask that you complete a brief survey on your experience to be shared with the brands.

How and when is my information shared with brands?

Great question! Whenever a brand that meets your criteria has requested samplers for products you’re interested in (e.g. NA wine), you may be picked to be included. When that happens, we’ll provide your mailing address, and send you a text giving you a heads-up to expect a shipment.

How many brands can I work with?

There is no limit on the number of brands you can work with.

Is there a minimum age to participate?

Yes. Non-alcoholic beverages are still intended for those 21+ in the U.S., and all who elect to participate warrant that they are of legal drinking age. For those sampling THC/CBD beverages, please drink responsibly.

Ok, I’m in! Where’s the legal-ese?

All participants and brands involved in IRL Nation are governed by our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
