This is the story of Vores Øl (Our Beer), the world’s first open source beer. The beer is distributed using an Attribution-Share Alike Creative Commons licence. The recipe produces a 6% energetic beer (it uses Guarana), and according to the makers, it is very tasty and they have drank all of it. The people at Creative Commons have decided to try brewing their own version, but with some remixing taking place as the beer was not coming out as planned (they have removed the Guarana beans, is nothing sacred any more?).
Any chance of getting some OSS beer sent to Edinburgh? All this talk of beer has made me thirsty.
