You are right a separate exclusions list just for this map would be the
most 'correct' thing to do to save putting spurious tags in the OSM
database.  I was being lazy though - a check for brewery!='no' tag is
trivial to implement, whereas a way of allowing users to add items to an
exclusions list takes a bit more doing (at least if we want a bit of
security like user authentication).

I do have a nearly finished codeigniter/bonfire application that could run
on my server that does user authentication and I could add a module to that
to manage an exclusions list, but I have never quite got around to
finishing it.

Could just do it manually for now I suppose?
