    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...

    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.

    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.

    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!"

    [–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 10 points 2 months ago

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

    [–] ikidd@lemmy.world 37 points 2 months ago

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

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

    [–] communism@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Oh shit nice. Finally, the free as in speech beer

    [–] rain_worl@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

    free as in speaking beer

    [–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    My colorblind ass is having a hard time with that sign lol

    "Free eer free beer"?

    I'm guessing by context it's " free beer free beer"?

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

    [–] palordrolap@fedia.io 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    So I put 100g of barleycorns, 100g of malt extract, 100g of hops and 100ml of water into a pint glass and it's really hard to stir. When does it turn into beer?

    [–] djsoren19@yiffit.net 6 points 2 months ago

    I mean you can find recipes in this very thread, it doesn't have to be a mystery to you.

    [–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    This was my thought as well. Is there proprietary closed-source beer recipes? XD

    [–] 0ddysseus@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

    Yeah there 100% is and probably always has been. The yeast strain, the varieties and processing of the barley and hops, the water source, the process etc all make for wildly different products. So a make that has a distinctive and popular beer will absolutely guard the recipe. This was true at least back through the medieval period, and there are some Belgian beers that still have proprietary recipes that are hundreds of years old

    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!!!

    At The Eagle and Child Pub

    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".

    Sorry, but you can not have my proprietary beard yeast, so you can't have the same beer I make (I don't make beer. I do make bread, but have never cultured my beard yeast)

    [–] waz@feddit.uk 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

    [–] wfh@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

    Came here to post that.

    [–] JetpackJackson@feddit.org 9 points 2 months ago

    Theres open cola but it's not beer

    [–] Thann@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

    [–] ikidd@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

    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.

    [–] robinj1995@feddit.nl 7 points 2 months ago

    FOSDEM has a beer brewed every year for the event, I wonder, surely that'd be open.

    [–] tilefan@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

    I just read about some bakery burning down, and some locals getting together to donate some of their ancient sourdough starter.

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

    Freedom is free.

    [–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

    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.
