Those who do not learn from history are doomed to... make maps that are incorrect.
Following a chain of links around the interwebs I found this poster which purports to show the brewery locations in the original United States. The problem? They left off almost half of Virginia. As any student of history knows, West Virginia only became a separate state in 1863 when it seceded from Virginia (reports that the communication of this act to Richmond included the phrase "how do you like them apples?" are not fully substantiated) because Virginia seceded from the United States and the good folks of the Mountaineer state thought this was a bit thick. I mean to say, really.
Perhaps this was why the poster was on sale?
