It is obviously missing a lot data. The opportunity here is to make a better version of the open database.
What’s the coming back status of open beer db?
Is there an example of any dataset that is well maintained by a community?
It doesn’t seem like a technical challenge but a organization challenge.
- yashap 5y agoYeah, this list is incredibly incomplete. Looked up a bunch of my favourite Canadian breweries, haven’t found a single one. The ability for users to add breweries and beers would be big. With that being said, there are already sites like this, with massive amounts of brewery/beer data, like RateBeer and BeerAdvocate, so it’s not like this is an unserved space.
- gibspaulding 5y ago> Is there an example of any dataset that is well maintained by a community? OpenStreetMaps comes to mind, though I don't know what their governance model looks like. Perhaps it's more centralized than I think?
- contr-error 5y agoThe obvious place for a dataset like this is Wikidata. There's already a lot of content in Wikipedia listicles (including Dutch/German Wikipedia's) that could be copied over.

- splonk 5y agoUntappd, RateBeer, and BeerAdvocate all should have much better data than this, which I believe are all at least partially crowdsourced in various ways. I'm mostly familiar with Untappd, but they're fairly strict about exporting any of their data. I looked into getting API access with them some time ago and basically decided that if I wanted to get any of my data, writing a scraper would be a better idea.
