It looks like there is quite a bit of data already for Austin users (which makes sense for SXSW), but I just tried this in San Francisco and it looks pretty empty.
Is there an existing data set out there for beer? I know there are a TON of beer review sites, but I'm guessing none have an API or a way to integrate.
If you want this to take off I'd suggest trying to get a few early power users in San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle to light a fire in the Pacific Northwest as this is definitely micro-brew country.
- cwilson 14y agoI can already think of a few great uses for this. A few weeks ago I had a friend come into town for San Francisco Beer Week and ALL he cared about was finding which bars carried Pliny the Younger (it's won "Best beer in the world" at least once). There was no easy way to do this.

- kk3 14y agoEven if you know where Pliny the Younger is being served, there's still no easy way to do this. They release a limited amount and it usually sells out in the first hour or so. If you go to the Russian River brewery it's a 5 hour+ wait. Crazy stuff.
