This document discusses getting beer-related data into and out of a graph database. It describes starting with a list of Belgian beers from Wikipedia, modeling the data with nodes for BeerBrands, Breweries, BeerTypes and relationships between them. It also discusses adding alcohol percentage data to nodes and indexes to enable lookups. Methods for visualizing the data and generating recommendations through queries on the graph are also mentioned.
