First: recommendations are a Must Have.
Geolocation: craft beers often have limited distribution, and are only available in certain states, or in areas where the distributors decide to carry them. Reviews of craft beers that you can actually find in a store / bar near you are more valuable than finding the one beer that you will totally love, which happens to only be available in Western Montana.
Monetizing: sell your data! To breweries, to retailers, to distributors. Your correlations reduce the risk inherent in deciding to carry a new product.
Dreaming: point the iPhone at a beer menu, and the app OCRs the beer names, and up pops ratings.
Minor criticism on the website: I typed "bell's oberon" into the search box and couldn't figure out how to click and make the search go. It wasn't until I typed "oberon" really slowly that I got it to work. If I were just casually stopping by the site, I would have given up.
