ACCEPTED ANSWER

Beerdar - as in beer-radar - although, that could just be something me and my student friends came up with.




ANSWER 2

One suggestion made during the dispute was "beer compass", but it was claimed that meant the same as "beer goggles".




ANSWER 3

Score 3


Not a one-word answer, but maybe "homing instinct"?




ANSWER 4

Score 1


I don't know a term for this ability specifically, but it can be considered an example of a homing instinct.
