Open source beer

Vores Øl (Our Beer) is the world’s first open source beer. 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.

The beer is based on classic ale brewing traditions but with added guarana for added energy-boost.
