 How often is the map updated?

Depending on the server load it should not be lagging behind for more than
1-2 hours.

It is using the hstore system from the currently german only HOIWTO:

I also wrote something about the technical issues on my blog:

You are German, huh? They are quite famous for both hobbies, I think :-)

Cool!



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.


Nice.

Would Addis Ababa show up?

 Whee. Now, please define microbrewery and brewpub.

 Is this a microbrewery:

yes.

The huge hint is the text Upstairs, our working micro-brewery
produces only the finest of local hand-crafted beers. :D

It probably is.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbrewery

If beer is available in supermarkets nationwide I would say no and yes
otherwise.

I knew that there will be some corner cases especially in northern bavaria
where some brewpubs exist for more than 100 years.

It's an if it quacks like a duck question, isn't it?

Most English* breweries (large and small) have historically had a 
brewery tap adjacent to the brewery, owned by the brewery which sells 
that brewery's beer.  At the smaller end 
(http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/304814504) it'd qualify as a 
microbrewery, even though the beer's also available elsewhere, but at 
the larger (http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/403137224) it 
certainly wouldn't.


*and quite possible elsewhere too of course.

Sven said it well:

James Squire was once a microbrewery but is now well and truly a
mass-market commercial beer. It's obviously still promoting itself as
a microbrewery, but according to its website, there are 18 places in
Victoria starting with A that sell it. I think maybe that working
microbrewery they're referring to is making special brews, not their
main line. So maybe it is actually a microbrewery/brewpub after
all...although I was originally thinking otherwise. Could legiitmately
be a commercial brewer operating microbreweries, under the same brand.

[OSM-talk] Announcing the Open Brewpub Map

2010-07-19 Thread 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.
