Go on then, I'll disagree - why do we need a new key called real_beer
(currently 1 use in the database) when there is an existing key called
real_ale with 878 entries in the database.

It could be that I am not a beer-buff and don't appreciate the distinction,
but they are synonymous to my simple mind, so I would have just gone with
real_ale, which is a more common term as far as I am aware.

<ducks waiting for abuse from fans of real beer!>

I am happy to try out our current rendering system with pubs, but I think
it will feel a bit sluggish (lots more data than for breweries etc.) -
working on a better system now...
But I will need a bribe - Icons.

If someone provides a set of icons for un-real and real ale (beer) pubs,
off-licences etc, I will put them on a map for you!   PNG images at say
32x32 pixels will be fine.

Graham.
