Beer Trip Planner

The beer friends at Beer Mapping Project which is my starting point for planning a beer trip to the USA or Canada has added a very nice little feature.

With the "Beer Trip Planner" you can now get customized beer maps with direction through normal google maps. So you can simply search for the pubs and breweries you want to visit and in what order. The service will then calculate the route that you can use together with google maps. You get both directly a links against google maps or you can save a url for later use.

Simple and a great example how different internet technologies can be combined and with that create a new service in matter of minutes.

For example you want to create a map going from d.b.a to The Blind Tiger you will create this simple url;

Or if you are in San Francisco and want a great pub day;
