Introducing New Map Navigation
We’ve done a small revamp on our maps over the past week; changing the way they look and altering some of the ways that you may use the maps. We have tried our best to only add features and not remove any that you might be already used to. It may take you a few [...]
Chicago Rare Beer Night!
Beer Mapping and Hop Cast have joined forces to present this awesome event at Small Bar Fullerton. There will be barrels of rare beer poured as well as a couple of firkins sitting on the bar. Our goal was to get local breweries to bring us something that is rarely seen on tap. We hope [...]
Google sees our reviews!
Ok, we’ve been showing up on Google search results for locations and other things for a while now. That isn’t big news. We’ve been the top result for US Breweries since sometime in 2006. Cool, but not really that helpful for bringing new eyes to the site. Well, the big news today is that we [...]

Fantasy Draught Season is upon us again! There is a little Beer Festival held in Colorado once a year that gives out awards to Breweries.

Point of Interest Subscription System
We have finalized the system that allows users to download custom point of interest files from the Beer Mapping Project’s database.

We Accept the Nomination!
There is an article in Beer Magazine this month entitled: Beer on the Web (by Brad Ruppert). In that article, Ruppert, describes BeerMapping.com and he declares that “someone should give [us] the Pulitzer Prize”.
