similar sharing of beer recipes has occurred as long as beer has existed.
Even properly licensed shared beer brew recipes have been around for a
*very* long time.
Even the US Whitehouse got in on the action

There are even companies that share their beer trademark

The original freely licensed drink would be
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCola_(drink) from 2001. This
resulted in a 2 page article in the new scientist (Feb. 2, 2002) that
was also freely licensed (although I've not seen a copy since 2002).

***
Free Beer, originally known as Vores øl - An open source beer (Danish
for: Our Beer), is the first brand of beer with an "open"/"free"
brand
and recipe.[3] The recipe and trademark elements are published under a
Creative Commons license.[4]

Trademark number 1 was also beer related (Bass triangle).
