My 2p on the industrial/craft split:
I don't think this has been mentioned before but perhaps also the output of the brewery could be tagged.
e.g.
brewery:output:beer|cider=nnnnn (in barrels per year)
brewery:output:source=local knowledge/URL ref/beer mat/whatever
brewery:output:date=year of output
This isn't a geographically measurable feature so I'm not sure how useful it is or how easy it is to obtain copyright compatible information.
This leaves defining the split in terms output (when available), out of OSM.
Alternatively, or in conjunction with I think a 'industrial=brewery_national' would a useful distinction as I see there's around 4 levels of production (rather than 3):
. Brewpub
- Pub like hours
. Micro brewery - generally serves local area - e.g. Dark Star, etc.
- Possibly can turn up on premises and can buy stuff direct
[redefinition of current 'industrial=brewery']
. More akin to a regional brewery eg: - Ringwood, Hook Norton, Fullers
- Probably have proper shop and organised tours
[New level - hence new tag info of some kind eg 'industrial=brewery_national' or 'industrial=brewery_massive' or something....]
. National - Carling, Fosters, HP Bulmers etc.
- Generally no public access features [Hence not so interesting on a map, other than it's there]
Any thoughts?
