'Cold One' Cartography

The United States of Good Beer Classifies America by Choice Ales

After objections to a Houston Press version of a national booze survey, the United States of Good Beer map appeared on Good.is. Through online voting, American brew enthusiasts selected a brand for each state -- in many cases, bottled beverages from local breweries.

Besides having no alcoholic identity for Idaho and Virginia, the United States of Good Beer chart depicts a pretty compelling picture of preferred consumption in the U.S.
