I guess Cosmo Kramer was ahead of his time. He proposed a Pizza place where
you bake your own pie, which is a demonstration of Open Source principles.
Perhaps the breweries will adopt this too. Just like Junk Food chains
adopted the idea of letting the customers fill their own cups and possibly
'mix and match'? Don't quite like your old favourite drink? Modify to
improve it then. This benefits everyone as all are happy(ier).
