In my mind, in the UK most (small/micro)breweries are real_ale, thus this should be assumed default. (According to http://www.beermad.org.uk/, there are nearly 2000 breweries of real ale). Map on http://www.quaffale.org.uk/php/showmap.php, shows we (OSM) have a long way to go. NB quaffale state "Most of the information contained within this site is within the public domain.", so it may be interesting to pursue as a line of investigation... Perhaps all breweries should state what they do, such as: CAMRA definitions: real_ale=yes real_lager=yes real_cider=yes and then lager=yes cider=yes ale=yes for other methods. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
