More recently we put together a visualization of the 1977 data at https://vinepair.com/map-american-breweries-1977/
There's also a marked up breakdown by brewery from a 1978 FTC report below the visualization.
Pretty sure that's actually a George Carlin line, from a relatively famous routine of his. Many, many clips, but here's a random one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKUaqFzZLxU

> Late one Wednesday morning in July, a crowd of tourists began to form on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. Their location of interest was the Paul Smith store, but not what was in it. The large modernist building, with its sunny corner location, single rectangular window, and striking bubblegum-pink painted wall, happens to make an excellent portrait backdrop.
> Though the menswear designer has never commented on the phenomenon, it’s safe to say that he did not imagine his California-pink shoebox would one day function as the site for thousands of amateur photo shoots. (Especially since it does not appear to have improved sales at his store.) Nevertheless, the Paul Smith brand appears to have recognized its power as a free marketing opportunity.

Want to be clear I am not criticizing this article as derivative of The Ringer piece. There are a lot of articles about purposefully Instagramable places, especially the 'museum' of Ice Cream.
> ...probably best way is still ask some good wine buyer, describe what you like and he might recommend wines he likes that loosely fits your description.
Best advice I've gotten/give is find an importer/distributor (eg Kermit Lynch) and rely on their selections.
> A Quid network shows 3,380 nodes, where each node represents a description and review of a single bottle of Bordeaux-style red wine from Wine.com.
FWIW, this is a topic we've explored in a few ways at VinePair:

* And a more humorous look at these descriptions @ https://vinepair.com/robert-robot/
Pretty sure no one expected -- given their very loud anti-'sell-out' rhetoric -- that they would sell a 22% stake for £100M to a private equity firm (TSG Consumer Partners) and actually deliver a serious return to said 'punks.'
Edit - 'Serious Return' per BrewDog's own reporting at anywhere between 2,765% and 177% depending on the 'fund' you invested in (https://www.brewdog.com/lowdown/press-hub/tsg-deal)
> When the solution of providing astronauts with a ballpoint pen that would work under weightless conditions and extreme temperatures came about, though, it wasn’t because NASA had thrown hundreds of thousands of dollars (inflated to $12 billion in the latest iterations of this tale) in research and development money at the problem. The “space pen” that has since become famous through its use by astronauts was developed independently by Paul C. Fisher of the Fisher Pen Co., who spent his own money on the project and, once he perfected his AG-7 “Anti-Gravity” Space Pen, offered it to NASA.

The result @ http://vinepair.com/wine-blog/map-actually-makes-your-beer/ received a LOT of attention in the beer world.
It's been updated four times as it was tough to sort through some of the confusion and obfuscation in marketing, even with the benefit of having had dug through SEC filings, the COLA registry at TTB, and other sources. FWIW, I was contacted for direct clarification from one of the companies indirectly called out in this piece (Kona/Craft Brew Alliance).
All that said, I'd argue that association (and particularly a lack of care about such an association by many, many consumers whether or not they know about it) is less interesting than the advantages of being purchased/created by a macro brewer, such as distribution and how that plays out in the 3-tier system in the US.
Kate Ascher's "The Works: Anatomy of a City" from a few years ago is a similar book, but with a broader scope of NYC's infrastructure.
Sure...you can move it to a subdomain and if all goes well, great. If not you can cite a Matt Cutts video to say who could have known: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MswMYk05tk
If the organic traffic matters then trust people who are actually affected (http://moz.com/community/q/moz-s-official-stance-on-subdomai...) and figure out another (yes, much more involved) way to deal like reverse proxying if you have other demands to contend with.
Are you blending user ratings with the ratebeer ratings in screenshots, or keeping them separate?
Wineglass has a feature I thought was pretty neat -- letting you know whether or not the price was 'fair for a restaurant' given typical industry markups. Perhaps not as applicable to beer, but could be a cool feature. And then you could surface 'bars with the best deals on beers you'll love.'
I'm in online wine media, so not as familiar with the beer space but it seems like lots of areas for collaboration (eg Nextglass, Untapped, BeerMenus.com as a fallback for OCR fails)
P.S. I understand the need to monetize, but having used heavily/played with dozens of apps in the wine/beer/liquor space, both free and paid, its rare to see random iAds (so far Target.com, some casino game install ad, and another casino game install ad. Perhaps the revenue is worth it but feels like there are much more interesting ways to monetize (native ads in terms of featured beers/all sorts of brewery/bar partnerships) than that sort of junky ad...
From the article: Five-O is currently in Alpha testing and will roll out to the public on August 18th, 2014, available to both Apple and Android.
That link you posted is to some screenshots.
The closet thing you could link to, in terms of 'how come there is not a single link to the actual app' would be this Google+ 'Community' (don't use G+ unless absolutely necessary so not sure what a G+ community even is) where you can join beta testing: https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/11815254284529799664...
"While banks in China have suspended some interbank transfers and other systems for several days, the move only covers some Internet transfers and those for small amounts, according to a statement on the People's Bank of China website. Meanwhile, state-run Beijing Times said customers can still conduct small-scale transfers via ATMs. On Sunday, Forbes contributor Gordon Chang, author of "The Coming Collapse of China," said that Citibank had halted bank transfers for three days, calling the move "ominous" for the Chinese banking system. However, the central bank had flagged the move earlier this month, saying the move was due to system maintenance and would occur once a month for the rest of the year."

stock photography has its place...but not beside this paragraph: "The idea of trusting a broker with your flight is crazy nowadays. Before you book your flight you can read real reviews from verified customers. Never again will you have to worry about whether or not you're getting a good deal, or will have an excellent flight!"

@fivethirtyeight did not account for 20% of NYT traffic; 20% of visitors to NYT looked at 538. Big difference, my math-challenged friends.

From article: "Earlier this month, the company said it was taking a one-time charge of $6.2 billion, almost exactly the amount it paid for aQuantive, an online advertising company it bought in 2007 for $6.3 billion."
There are contracts for delivery in place: Meanwhile, Tong Ling, China’s largest importer of copper concentrates and one of the world’s largest copper smelters, recently signed a deal with Nautilus for more than a million tons of Pacific sulfide ores per year — an amount equal to about 5 percent of the world’s copper production.
This was essential reading for me on a couple of launches.
As to Mashable in particular, they have a startup coverage series 'Spark Of Genius.' Was a dead simple pitch (it is a form) and coverage for me there really got the ball rolling.
For other bloggers find someone how covers your niche and pitch them --- never pitch the general email address of the publication.
And one last thing - it might be worth it to pick one primary target of the big tech news sites. Once one covers you they usually all jump to follow (ie weeks old emails suddenly returned requesting interview ASAP)
