I wish I had thought to hit up The Beer Mapping Project on my recent trip to L.A. I probably would've drank way less Tecate.

The site, which relies on Google Map's free application programming interface (API) to acquire geocodes for brewpubs, breweries, beer bars, six-pack stores and homebrew shops, is a hell of a tool when pining for good suds in unfamiliar territory.

There are somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 American and Canadian cities featured currently; updates are largely user-driven, so be sure to tip. Philly's map (above and here) is stinking with color-coded key points, of course.
