[Talk-GB] Drinking Map of UK

[Sven Geggus]

Hello altogether,

sorry for entering the discussion this late, but I have just been pointed here
right now because I do not usually follow talk-gb.
I do however think, that this stuff should not be UK only :)

I am here now, because I did a somewhat simular Map called the
Open brewpub Map here:
http://brewpubs.openstreetmap.de/ (might be slow)
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:microbrewery%3Dyes

Unfortunately this Map is currently not up to date. How difficult would it
be for you to extend your map worldwide?

I do not quite understand this real_ale stuff. German Microbreweries usually
serve unfiltered yeast-clouded beer which has not been pasteurised. Mostly
not ale but pilsner, lager or wheat beer. Can this be called real_ale?

So should we convert the roughly 1000 breweries already tagged and if so in
which way?
