The application use two models: Beer and Brewery. Also it defines views for them, you can find them in corresponding directories app/models/beer and app/models/brewery. You can read more about this directory structure in the README of the couchbase-model ruby gem.

Couchbase as a cache storage: there is another bucket should be configured and mentioned in config/application.rb:68 to replace default cache store in Rails and use Couchbase server instead.
