[Talk-GB] Drinking Map of UK

[Brian Prangle]

Hi everyone

Just dome some armchair mapping in Hereford where the HP Bulmer site is a
massive industrial complex so I don't think ciderhouse or press or mill is
somehow appropriate so I've labelled it industrial=brewery for the
meantime. Perhaps we should also have industrial=cider?  The Bulmers site
in tagQueries which is in Ireland will probably be the same (and possibly
Magners - but that might come out of the Bulmers Irish site)

Regards

Brian
