[OSM-talk] Announcing the Open Brewpub Map

[Sven Geggus]

Hi there,

one of the big advantages of OSM is IMO the open tagging scheme. Thus
I thought why not start a trivial project called Open Brewpub Map.

This is in fact a connection of two of my hobbies (brewing and
mapping) in some way :)

As my experience in the OSM project shows people are mapping only
stuff which is shown in a map somewhere. This is why I did not start
the project without creating a map first.

It is avaliable on:

http://brewpubs.openstreetmap.de/

Currently the map is centered around the south western part of
germany (where I live) and filled mostly with pubs where I have been
myself but I hope this will change very soon now.

Tagging is easy. Just add microbrewery=yes to the node or building
area object of your local brewpub.

This tagging Scheme has been added to the Wiki as well.

Sven
