The place for making beer in Singapore has taken environmentally friendly messages to other levels by turning urine and waste into alcoholic drinks. If the latest development in making beer is taste or not, we cannot say it, but that must be a green way to do it.
Currently advertised in “The Greenest Beer”, Newbrew is made of liquid recycled from waste, filtered, and pumped to Singapore’s water supply, according to the BBC report.
Why use urine, waste to make beer?
In a world that faces a water crisis that will become worse in the coming years, every effort to save and recycle water is needed. Beer needs a lot of water, because 90 percent of drinks are H20.
To overcome the inevitable water crisis, the Singapore water body has launched drinks to increase awareness about the scarcity of the country’s water.
How is that made?
Newbrew is made of Newater, which is recycled from waste, filtered, and pumped to Singapore’s water supply.
Newater through a tight test, several rounds of filtration, makes it safe to drink.
According to independent, waste is treated to become “very clean” water, before being used to make 95 percent of tropical blonde beer.
According to The Straits Times, Newbrew was launched last month by the National Water Agency Pub and Brewery Brewery Local beer, along with the Singapore International Water Week (SIWW).
The Clean Newater does not pollute the taste of malt, hop and yeast strains in drinks.
The water board has taken care of waste for years to turn it into water that can be drunk. It is said that the purpose of this exercise is for water supply bearings to dry weather.
During the dry period, recycled waste is added to the reservoir, before the water is processed and used as tap water.
Crafts beer, which depicts himself has a “AFTERTASTE that is roasted, like honey”, is another way to keep Singapore hydrated when it becomes hot and dry while keeping the water supply safe.
Not the only player in the game
Newbrew is not the first craft beer made from recycled water. Similar draft has been brewed by people elsewhere.
According to The Straits Times, in San Diego, the Stone Brewing Crawing Borer company rolled a pale -full circle in 2017, beer brewed with purified reclamation water.
People also try to increase awareness about waste of food through alcoholic drinks.
The crust group launched a series of artisanal beer made from surplus bread and other ingredients from restaurants and hotel partners, to increase awareness of food waste.
The Super Loco Group restaurant has also introduced the cocktail “zero to the hero”, made using the rest of the tropical fruit, in the Loco Earth Month menu to mark Earth Day on April 22.
