"open-source" beer by publishing its recipe and brand under a Creative

"The recipe and the whole brand of Our Beer is published under a Cre... (more)

consecutive year of diminishing growth rates in the beer industry, dropping
2.1% to 2.877 billion cases. According to the Beverage Information Group's
