Concept: beer that is free as in freedom, not as in gratis

You still have to pay for it because it costs money to make. But it’s completely open-source beer so you can recreate it yourself if you don’t want to buy it pre-made, or you want to modify the recipe.

I have no idea how to make beer otherwise I’d have a crack at this shitpost myself…

Now I’m thinking about a proper “programming language” for cooking recipes.

Just imagine the possibilities: Automated checking for for allergies and such, easy substitution of ingredients as well as portion calculations, being able to fork recipes and change them to your liking, and later diff the recipes.

If you can commercialize that you’ll be a very rich person. Good luck!

Mead is easier and JAOM is probably the most approachable one.

I think that’s already a thing. I remember reading about that a few years ago, but probably hard to find after the home brewing and craft beer hype.

I take it you haven’t heard about Free Beer.

Bizarrely, for a very self positioned premium beer company, they made a very cool sharing of their recipes for home brewers, DIY DOG

Beer is fairly well solved enough by now that, if you have a good nose and a brew calculator site, you can guess your way to 80% accuracy for any given beer at a first try, and by the time I’ve iterated much further than that, I’ve arrived at something more interesting anyway.

If you’re a company that sells beer, your business model is more based on people’s lack of interest in that creative work than it is around protecting any “secret recipe”.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Beer, is in fact, GNU/Beer, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Beer. Beer is not an alcoholic drink unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU hops, rye, and fermentation process comprising a full libation as defined by POSIX.

This is literally the whole idea of Nerdbrewing

“…Since sharing is caring, Nerdbrewing brought open source from the software world into the world of brewing and the recipes are free for any homebrewer to try out!”

TIL! Been homebrewing since undergrad. First I've hear of Nerdbrewing. TY!

Capitalism is being enslaved into laboring for food chips through the violent deprivation of human needs.

Freedom is free.

IDK what the license is, but Sierra Nevada has their pale ale recipe on their website.

A lot of the craft breweries have published their recipes for years. I’ve done beers from Sierra Nevada, Lagunitas, Tree House and Rogue. There’s a few of the recipes in “Homebrewers Recipe Guide” by Higgins, Kilgore & Hertlein, and some that I’ve just picked up on the brewery websites like the one you link.

Just a fun fact here. The original name of the band Barenaked Ladies, was Free Beer. They were a pub band back then, and used posters to advertise themselves that read:

Tonight! One Night Only!

Free Beer!!!

That’s a rabbithole that can result in a lifelong hobby. Be very careful.

Isn’t this already true? Beer is essentially just water, barley, malt, and hops. We’ve been making it for thousands of years.
