Science is advancing by leaps and bounds and in all directions, despite the fact that the world has its sights set on Artificial Intelligence as well as other advances in terms of beer. Yes, you read it right. Science has a lot to do with the brewing industry, especially when a beer has been made using wastewater.
Although it may sound completely and utterly disgusting, this is the project that “Epic OneWater Brew” was born with. The company behind this beer is called Epic Cleantec and they have partnered with Devils Canyon Brewing Company to get this regular beer made using wastewater from a building.
The building that gives the ingredient is the Fifteen Fifty, a complex of buildings in the United States that is located in the city of San Francisco. Of course, despite the fact that the beer that has been made is real and several people have been able to try it, it is not for sale. The intention behind the project is different and it is much more interesting than a simple beer.
In fact, what is intended by showing that it is possible to make a normal beer using wastewater from a building is the effectiveness of the purification, filtration and management system of this water. In addition, to offer a different vision towards the water that is released from the buildings.
Beer from a building’s wastewater, science may have gone too far
the idea of having beers Manufactured using wastewater is something that the public does not like and, in fact, the company is clear that there is a factor that puts people off when it comes to consuming this beer. Logically it is not a product that is going to be attractive because it is something made with wastewater.
But it is a perfectly drinkable product and that shows what can be done when it comes to reusing an asset as precious as water. And, is that, the number of liters of water that go down the toilet is alarming and more when the climatic situation is getting worse due to phenomena such as climate change.
Of course, the water that has been refined and that is used in the manufacture of these beers does not come directly from the toilet. The one that has been used is the one that is generated after showers and washing machines, reducing the rejection factor slightly. We will have to wait and see how this type of Projects so interesting.
