Beer Sommelier (www.greatbrewers.com/beer-sommelier) is a craft-beer-mapping site from Great Brewers, a consortium of distributors, in which users can pair many types of food with recommended beers. On the site, a vertical row of large picture boxes shows foods such as meats, poultry, fish, pasta, nuts, fruit, cheese, chocolate, etc. Once one of these food boxes is clicked, there appear many types of specific dishes containing the selected food. A third click brings up recommended styles of beer that pair well with the dish. Each beer includes all the stats: flavor characteristics, ABV, glassware, etc. There are about 2,100 beers in the database.
