    I came across my September/October 2008 issue of Imbibe Magazine, with the cover story "100 Best Places to Drink Beer in America." It's a little late to bring it up since it's not on newsstands any more and their online content is limited. But I wanted to keep track of the list in case I misplace the magazine, so I went ahead and made a Google Map of it.

    As with some of the other maps I've made, I have also configured a more easily memorable URL to a KML version of the file, which is suitable for entering into the "search" box of the iPhone's Maps application: http://blog.germuska.com/imbibe2008.kml

    And why the heck not, here's the list. (Turns out it's 101!)
