Indeed I'd say this "vanguard of postcapitalism" description, and the "open source" tag, is more a Guardian invented exaggeration. Many craft breweries have homebrew roots and, generally speaking, many of them are pretty accommodating of homebrewer inquiries to various degree.
Brewdog's the first one I've seen that's opened up all of this at once, but it is not uncommon (at least in the US) for an American craft brewery to, say, publish a "clone recipe" of one or many of their beers in a homebrew magazine.
- michael_h 11y agoI've gone to one of my local breweries (in the US) for help with getting their recipe right. I messed something up along the way and brought a sample to the brewmaster, who pinpointed exactly what went wrong. The next batch was dead on.
- sledge 11y agoDid you know that some (and I think all?) of Sierra Nevada's brews are bottle conditioned? Which means that there's a tiny bit of attenuated yeast in the bottom. Create a starter from this, find a clone recipe (they're out there) and you can have a very close match to their product.
