When readings science blogs pays off
I was checking out the Agricultural Biodiversity Weblog (yes, I know, not exactly TMZ or PerezHilton) and I was linked up with a fantastic website, the Beer Mapping Project. They use Google Maps to plot the location of your favorite beers and where you can find them. The list of cities with maps is limited at the moment, but my spring break houdestination next week, Chicago, is included. There is also a national map showing all the breweries and brewpubs. This is a more complete map, which has my favorite brewpub, Front Street Brewery in Wilmington, NC.
This is a brilliant site, and is essentially a geographic information system (GIS). So, the site is combining two of my favorite things: beer and maps (in that order).

Will,
This is awesome! I'm glad your reading of science blogs pays off for me.
I have a few favorite hard-to-find beers and we check their sites for availability when we travel. It's only worked once when we were in Charlotte NC- this site will make it all the easier. Cool find.

P.S. I love that people can "bond" over beer even if it's just talking about it on a blog.. good times.
