The beer sample data demonstrates a combination of the document structure used to describe different items, including references between objects, and also includes a number of sample views that show the view structure and layout.

The primary document type is the 'beer' document:

{
   "name": "Piranha Pale Ale",
   "abv": 5.7,
   "ibu": 0,
   "srm": 0,
   "upc": 0,
   "type": "beer",
   "brewery_id": "110f04166d",
   "updated": "2010-07-22 20:00:20",
   "description": "",
   "style": "American-Style Pale Ale",
   "category": "North American Ale"
}

Beer documents contain core information about different beers, including the name, alcohol by volume (abv) and categorisation data.

Individual beer documents are related to brewery documents using the brewery_id field, which holds the information about a specific brewery for the beer:

{
   "name": "Commonwealth Brewing #1",
   "city": "Boston",
   "state": "Massachusetts",
   "code": "",
   "country": "United States",
   "phone": "",
   "website": "",
   "type": "brewery",
   "updated": "2010-07-22 20:00:20",
   "description": "",
   "address": [
   ],
   "geo": {
       "accuracy": "APPROXIMATE",
       "lat": 42.3584,
       "lng": -71.0598
   }
}

The brewery reconrd includes basic contact and address information for the brewery, and contains a spatial record consisting of the latitute and longitude of the brewery location.
