Haha yes a lot of breweries have been started by IT people over here too.
To be fair, brewing includes some science, a lot of self learning and creativity, so there is some overlap there.
Not to mention the fact that until recently (over here at least) most beer festivals looked quite a bit like open source conventions, just with different stickers. And the "beer nerds" (including me) I know are just as in to beer as I was in to computers.
