yes, something like drink:*=yes/draught/bottled/no would do the job, but we should agree what * is. There are types of beer (lager, ale, pils, ...) and there are brands. People might be interested in both, and the same brand might offer several types (but not all of them will always be available at a certain pub). The problem I see with this approach is that it will be hard to evaluate if you are only interested in something like: "do they offer draught beer?", as long as you don't intend that * is a placeholder for "beer" (because drink is generic, and people might use this for coffee or lemonades as well, so you would have to know at least all possible beer types to check for beer (feasible with a list in the wiki I guess). This is a good argument not to use "*" for brands, as there is an infinite number of them. For brands (if someone really wants to tag it) it could be drink:lager:<beerbrand>=yes (because otherwise you would need multivalues if they offer more then one kind of a type) Beer is very country specific, in Germany you would want to know the brand (because there is huge differences, and often you can deduct from the brand of beer what kind of pub it is), while in Italy it would be sufficient to know that they have draught beer at all (because there is not a big tradition in drinking beer, and they often don't have draught beer). I started a draft for this: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Beer_details please comment and add more beer types to the page. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
