BreweryTour is a Swift based App to help you find breweries that make the style of beer you're currently excited about. When my friends introduce me to a new style of beer, I've had trouble finding other places that brew that type of beer. This app solves that problem for others. It allows you to search for all breweries that produce your desired style.
UIKit, MapKit, CoreData, GCD, CoreAnimation, CoreLocation, Cocoapods, Generics, Design Patterns.
The crowd sourced data for the beers and breweries is BreweryDB, http://www.brewerydb.com.
The data persistence is achieved mostly thru CoreData, the tutorial states are saved in UserDefaults.
Grand central dispatch is used generously throughout the download process.
MVVM design pattern is used to back many of the viewcontrollers.
Cocoapods was used to integrate AlamoFire Networking.
Upon opening the app, you will be greeted with a tutorial screen click next to see the usage for this screen, click dismiss to dismiss the tutorial.
You will be on the Map screen.
Within the Map screen (tab):
Longpress to see nearby breweries to that location.
You will see a beer mug for every brewery that was returned.
Clicking on the beer mug will bring up the brewery's name, website address, and whether you've marked this as a liked brewery.
If the brewery has a website listed below, clicking on it will bring up the brewery's website.
Click the heart to favorite the brewery, then in the 'Favorite Brewery' (tab) you can get turn by turn directions to the brewery.
You can control the number of breweries being shown by dragging the slider at the top.
The number of breweries will be listed on the right side of the slider.
If you click the Menu button you have some map options, to show all nearby local breweries, and turn off the green line routing information you see when a brewery is clicked.
At the bottom of the screen is the tabbar that controls views of the map, a styles and brewery selection screen, the beers that you selected via styles/brewery screen, your favorite beers screen, and your favorite breweries screen.
To look for a specific style of beer click the 'Search Style' (tab).
Within the Search Styles Tab:
Select a beer style and then it will begin to download all the entries for that style.
There are alot of breweries and beers per style, the spinner will keep going as long as there are breweries and their beers to be processed.
Click Breweries with style (in the segemented control) to see the breweries that have the style you selected.
Click All Breweries (in the segemented control) to see all breweries currently in the device in on a list.
At anytime you can press on a brewery and the app will switch to the map, you may need to zoom out to see the location of the brewery.
Within the Search beers (tab):
You may see detailed information about beers, favorite those beers and write tasting notes about the beers.
Within the Search Beers screen (tab):
You can select your favorited beers and see details about each beer.
You can also place tasting notes about the beer.
Within the Favorite Beers screen (tab):
You can select a beer to show it's details
Within the Favorite Breweries screen (tab):
You can select a brewery and get travel directions to that brewery.
This screen is a great way to keep a list of breweries you want to visit in the near future.

The ability to search for local beers only works in the United States.
Prior to establishing your current location via gps, the app will default to the center of the United States.
Routing is now slower than the custom callout display. The route may not map before a new callout is pressed.
