Singapore Decides to Tackle Water Shortage With... Beer Made From Urine
Water is an essential ingredient in making beer. Depending on its style, beer may consist of up to 95 percent water, and it may take seven gallons of water to produce one gallon of beer. Those worried about wasting too much water for brewing have come up with a rather audacious way of solving the problem.
Singapore's water agency suggested a new craft beer that is made mostly of wastewater in order to address water shortage concerns, according to
The Independent.
NEWBrew is a tropical blonde ale that is claimed to have a “toasted, honey-like aftertaste”, even though before brewing it consists of urine and sewage water. Naturally, the wastewater is made "ultra-clean" before it makes its way into your pint.
And it seems that beer lovers are perfectly fine with the new drink.
“It definitely goes down smooth,” one of the drinkers told the
BBC. “I could probably, if I wanted to, drink a whole lot of those.”
