Danish students launch open source and shareware beer
30-12-2004

IT and high tech industries:
A group of IT-students fra the IT-University in Copenhagen has launched a new "open-source" beer, writes the technical journal Ingeniren.

It is described by the students as a great tasting energetic beer and it's the world's first open source beer! It is based on classic ale brewing traditions but with added guarana for a natural energy-boost.

Version 1.0 is a medium strong beer (6% vol) with a deep golden red colour and an original but familiar taste.

The recipe and the whole brand of Our Beer is published under a Creative Commons license, which basically means that anyone can use the recipe to brew the beer or to create a derivative. Anyone that uses the material has to publish the recipe under the same license (Share Alike) with reference to the originators.

The idea of creating Vores l came from students and the art group Superflex.

Reed more about recipes and methods at http://www.voresoel.dk/
