As a Czech I shall make this
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.
I have no idea how to make beer...
Yeah the source code has been published since the Egyptians

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!"
TIL! Been homebrewing since undergrad. First I've hear of Nerdbrewing. TY!
That's a rabbithole that can result in a lifelong hobby. Be very careful.
I take it you haven't heard about Free Beer.
Oh shit nice. Finally, the free as in speech beer
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"?
I think that B is a problem for everyones eyes :)
Isn't this already true? Beer is essentially just water, barley, malt, and hops. We've been making it for thousands of years.
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?
I mean you can find recipes in this very thread, it doesn't have to be a mystery to you.
This was my thought as well. Is there proprietary closed-source beer recipes? XD
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!!!

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".
IDK what the license is, but Sierra Nevada has their pale ale recipe on their website.
https://sierranevada.com/blog/our-beer/pale-ale-homebrew-recipe
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.
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)
Theres open cola but it's not beer
Bizarrely, for a very self positioned premium beer company, they made a very cool sharing of their recipes for home brewers, DIY DOG
Came here to post that.
FOSDEM has a beer brewed every year for the event, I wonder, surely that'd be open.
I just read about some bakery burning down, and some locals getting together to donate some of their ancient sourdough starter.
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.
Capitalism is being enslaved into laboring for food chips through the violent deprivation of human needs.
