It seems to be little more than "open source labeling" of a standard lager and ale: pick your label, pick your choice of payment, done. While I agree that can be an interesting thing for parties and rockstars, I'm not sure it's at all the same as what Flying Dog is doing here. Was the original beer recipe put together through a collaborative process? flack - I agree the Denmark-based free-beer.dk company does a good job staying true to the notion of "open source." But Flying Dog never actually makes the claim to being "FIRST 'Open source' beer project" - only that they believe it "to be the first 'open source' beer to hit the market in the U.S." Free Beer is based in Denmark, was started by amateurs (as opposed to an established brewery), and is not available for sale outside of Denmark. It would be nice to see more focus on a recipe for a hopped-up dopplebock, and less focus on questions of primacy (especially poor ones).

It gives me a new appreciation for craft brews in general and Flying Bitch (Dog) in particular. This is a nice thing you're doing. Maybe it'll be fun as well. Hey, I never heard back from asshole.
