Brooklyn-based printers-designers Pop Chart Lab seeks to "render all of human experience in chart form." That includes this impressive map of the over 1,000 breweries in the United States that can is available for purchase.

I was ready to break out my credit card and have this sucker delivered for framing when I spotted a notable omission playing around with the zoom-in of the map. See if you can find it.

Where is Three Floyds on this map?

Yup. Three Floyds, regularly named among the top three breweries in the world on both Beer Advocate and RateBeer.com, isn't on the map. I think not placing Three Floyds on this map is worth more than a $6 discount off the $30 retail price, don't you?
