BeerMapping Web 2.0 Google Maps Mashup

I bet this will be one of the most popular Google Maps Mashup: BeerMapping.com

A true Beer lover, the owner of the website has done the hardwork of cataloging the best US breweries, beer bars, pubs and beer stores online & porting them on Google Maps. Currently, I can see 25 US Cities with classifications as Brewpub, Brewery, Beer Bar, Beer Store & Homebrew Store.

There will be more of these coming up by others, like one for UK, then one for Wine & Wineries.
