Finding Information on the Web

Looking for net resources on topics other than beer? Here are some ideas for discovering sites and resources on the Internet (there are several others, but most are poorly maintained---these are fairly robust).

Menu and List-Based Approaches:

WWW Virtual Library (Look under "Beer & Brewing").
Yahoo (Look under "Entertainment" for beer, food, and wine-related sites.)

Search Engine Approaches:

Are We Missing a Great Net Resource?

Help us better serve the homebrewing community by telling us about new services on the web. Please do NOT tell us about purely commercial sites or personal beer pages (unless they offer a LOT of good, unique information sources). Please send us mail.
