Your Favorite Brewpub Chain?
The Beer Mapping Project wants to know what your favorite Brewpub chain is? Scroll down to vote in the poll for your favorite.
We’re using a fairly loose definition of a Chain Brewpub. We decided that the locations all need to have brewing equipment and a Brewpub Chain needs to have 3 or more locations in [...]
Is Your Local Pub Ready for the Digital TV Transition?
Most likely.
But there’s only one way to find out. Go visit tomorrow night, or throughout the weekend and see if their TVs are still working. If not, maybe someone at the bar would like to have a conversation instead? Plug in your address in our search engine to find out which bars or brewpubs are [...]
36 Hours in Chicago
Inspired by the threesome attack of stlhops.com, hoosierbeergeek.com and madisonbeerreview.com and their “36 Hours in…” campaign, we’ve decided to do our own for Chicago, IL.
Chicago is a great city to visit and a super city to drink beer in. We’re starting our theoretical trip on Friday around 5pm and we’re running it through Sunday [...]

No Pub Crawler Left Behind
It seems that after the dust cleared, our 4th Annual Beer Mapping/CTA Pub Crawl was a dramatic success! No beer drinker was left behind (except for those that could only make it one stop and this one guy who went for a falafel and almost didn’t come back).
I saw a few cameras snapping so I [...]

For the past three years we have pulled willing beer lovers through the city of Chicago. We rely on both CTA “EL” Trains and Busses to help us cover the long distances, but we do spend a fair amount [...]
We Found Our Twitter Account!
We created the @beermapping account back in November of 2008 in order to “squat” on our own domain and we never started using it. Hopefully we will find uses for it in the future, but for now we plan to have it automatically post any blog entries and we plan to update it with interesting [...]
Beer Wars: Episode V The Craft Strikes Back
Do you have any plans yet for April 16th? I’ll wait here while you pretend to check your calendar.
Back already? You should get out your sharpie and add “Beer Wars” to Thursday, April 16th.
If you’re reading this site then you definitely will enjoy watching the trailers that they have released for the [...]
Fo-Fricking-BAB
Or as some politically correct people will say: Fo-Fricking-WaBAB (which doesn’t roll off the tongue as well). Either way, tomorrow is the Sixth Annual Festival of Wood and Barrel Aged Beer (or probably when you read this, it’s either today or a few days ago).
This is an event put on by the Illinois Craft Brewers [...]
