This past Wednesday we took a trip to Huntington Beach to make
SUPERFLEX's
Free Beer at
Beer Bakers. At Beer Bakers you can make your own bread and beer while eating bread and beer.
FREE BEER is a beer which is free in the sense of freedom, not in the sense of free beer. The project, originally conceived by Superflex and students at the Copenhagen IT University, applies modern free software / open source methods to a traditional real-world product - namely the alcoholic beverage loved and enjoyed globally, and commonly known as beer. The recipe and branding elements of FREE BEER is published under a Creative Commons license, which means that anyone can use the recipe to brew their own FREE BEER or create a derivative of the recipe. Anyone is free to earn money from FREE BEER, but they must publish the recipe under the same license and credit our work.
