So...
BrewDog, a Scotland-based "hipster brewery" - for want of a better phrase - have just "open-sourced" their entire recipe collection.
You can read more at https://www.brewdog.com/lowdown/blog/diy-dog.
It's not entirely clear what "licence" they're using but they say:
*"copy them, tear them to pieces, bastardise them, adapt them, but most of all, enjoy them. They are well travelled but with plenty of miles still left on the clock. Just remember to share your brews, and share your results. Sharing is caring."*
I guess "free as in beer" has a slightly different meaning now!

CONCERN Richard has never declared a conflict of interest vis a vis, his (supposedly possible potentially) significant shareholding in Brewdog. Could posting information about them here indirectly benefit him financially?
CONTEXT He has been seen drinking this beer on occasion, though my understanding is that he prefers American things like Sierra Pale Ale? Or all that small batch microbrewery stuff we don't get over here unless you want to pay through the nose.
ANALYSIS There would be a potential conflict of interest if there were any facts that potentially supported any of the above concerns. I'm not suggesting that there is one, but it's entirely possible and would constitute a gross ethical breach of some sort.

Ask them to clarify their license...? The PDF would be a great addition to Wikimedia Commons, if possible. However the inclusion of packaging diagrams in their PDF's recipes is likely to mean they dont want to release this PDF under generous terms, but instead this is a marketing gimmick only. If we can only get it without those packaging diagrams, that would still be good.

no, no this is not some magic moment of enlightenment.
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).

Recipes in general are "open", are they not?

. . . and if you are thinking of using one of these recipes, there's also some open source software to run on turn a fridge into a fermentation chamber . . .
