There was a good article about the brew pub scene in Portland, OR. According
to the article the city has 28 brewpubs.

Actually, it said 28 breweries. And I always have to wonder where
numbers like that come from. And what "Portland" means in relationship
to the numbers.

But you can do your own count, and not just for Portland. A co-worker
of mine has built one of the better map-based sites for Oregon and
Washington breweries.

I agree that your cow-orker did a spiffy job with that web-based
mapping thingie, but check this out:

http://beermapping.com/city-beer-maps

I can tell it relies on some out-of-date information (in fact, I
probably supplied some of it in not updating my own site), but
both placemapper and beermapping are pretty kewl. Whoever does
beermapping must have a fair bit of time on his hands, though.

I'll really like seeing places like London and Manchester, and
can't wait until continental Europe is mapped like this too.

Very cool, and I'd recommend to my co-worker that he expand his list
beyond breweries and brewpubs, if he's got the energy.

What would they do without the Google api?

Which site is your site dgs?

I only ask, because I'm the guy doing beermapping.com. Please update
me on any closed breweries that you might come across.

Thanks,
