Beer maps combine two of my favorite things: beer and maps. This first interactive map is the most complete map of breweries and brewpubs in Oregon I have found, it’s beautiful in it’s simplicity. What appears to be just a simple map with two symbols representing breweries and brewpubs contains some of the most complete information on these establishments including links to their menus accessed by just clicking on the symbols.

Jake Prickett and Kyle Terry made this map for an advanced GIS class at University of Oregon. Jake told me that ESRI chose a handful of universities to test their new ArcGIS online service and this is the glorious results.
Now what if you are outside of Oregon and need to find beer. The Beer Mapping Project has you covered. Using Google’s mapping API one person is attempting to map all things beer.

While not actually a map I figured I’d add beercycling because it’s such a great way to visit breweries. Currently they offer bicycle brewery tours in Belgium and the Netherlands. Both trips are 10 days and focus on a different brewery a day. The package includes meals, entrance to brewery, a bicycle to ride, accommodations, and much more. If you need something closer they will soon be offering a San Diego tour in 2013.
