Well so much for the saying, “free as in beer, not free as in speech” which has been the classic statement to represent the Gratis vs. Libre distinction. The world’s first open source beer has been announced (via Made).

Created by “Vores Øl Group”, a group of students at the IT-University in Copenhagen in collaboration with Superflex, the beer is an experiment in applying modern open source ideas and methods on a traditional real-world product.

Beer and open source? Certainly a winning combination!
