Open Source Beer Project - Now it has a name
Back in June, we previously reported on the Open Source Beer Project being sponsored by Flying Dog Brewery.
Well, things have apparently been going gang-busters. They’ve worked out a recipe and now, most importantly, have chosen a name.
We have decided on a name for the Open Source Beer. Keeping in line with the tradition of Doppelbock names ending in “ATOR” (see the 9th paragraph), the Open Source Beer will be called “Collaborator” as a tribute to all of those that helped us create the recipe.
Collaborator will be the latest edition in the Flying Dog Wild Dog Series. Wild Dogs are limited edition beers that come exclusively in hand filled, corked and labeled 750ml champagne-style bottles. Only 5000 bottles will be available.
Now, the cynic in me is sure that they’d already picked out that name, which is what led them to deciding to do a doppelbock in the first place. But I won’t let it get the better of me.
Materials are on their way to Denver and the beer is on-track for an October release. It’ll also be entered into the Great American Beer Festival. And, since the recipe is “open source,” anybody could make their own version.
