Hi everyone

Thanks to everyone who made suggestions. If we can build on Graham's
initial efforts I think we can get a great map  and do some
some interesting surveying with an incentive to get people out mapping!  As
a first pass on a tagging scheme can I suggest we follow the wiki page at
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:brewery for showing which beers are
on sale at pubs ( i.e NOT guest beers)
and that we encourage the use of the extra tags suggested on the wiki page
for pubshttp://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dpub
We can also make us of the microbrewey tag described on
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:microbrewery%3Dyes  for those places
that only sell their beer on their own premises.

Using that as a basis we could tag

building=distillery
building=brewery
building=cider_press
building=perry_press
(that should remove any spurious entries like "Brewery Apartments" if we
just do a search on names)

For specialist off-licences which sell real ale we could use the realale
tag from the pub wiki page

Some breweries don't have visiting facilities so we need a tag to describe
this. Any suggestions? Opening hours could do it maybe?

To cover all these establishments should we have an "industry sector" tag
industry=alcohol or commercial=alcohol?  Perhaps alcoholic_beverage would
be better to distinguish it from industrial alcohol?

How to distinguish real ale from industrial mass market breweries?

How to list awards e.g  CAMRA Pub of the Year 2010

Once we can get a consensus I can get a wiki page up within the UK projects
section


Regards

Brian
