‘It tastes like a nice, crisp, Kölsch style ale. You'd have no idea the source of the water’ The thought of drinking wastewater is pretty unsavoury, right? But that’s exactly what one American brewery is encouraging people to do - and for sound environmental reasons.
With the help of a clean tech start-up, Devil’s Canyon brewery has created a beer made using water from the showers, laundry and bathroom sinks of a San Francisco apartment block.Would you be willing to take a sip? Here’s why you should consider it.
Is recycled water safe to drink?
The wastewater that goes down your drain, from everywhere except your toilet, is called grey water. It contains a variety of dirt and chemicals but hasn’t come into contact with faeces.

there are separate sewer lines?
one for kitchen/shower and one for toilet?
only one drain pipe in my house
Well, that’ll be the difference between “Light” beer and “Dark” beer.
No thank you. There’s already enough pharmaceuticals, micro-plastics, and forever chemicals in our drinking water.

Suds: the soapy choice for thirsty drinkers!
Water passes through nature’s water cycle and is purified in the process. There is no need to make beer from dirty water, unless they are trying desperately to make people think that somehow bathroom water in beer bottles helps the ecosystem.
So you want us to use water to make beer....water...like out of the toilet?
It’s got what people crave...
Do they have any idea how many people crap in the sink? It's San Francisco after all. Plus three dozens of communicable diseases etc. The thought alone disgusts.
so then...can yellow snow work? can’t eat it but beer? it could work. “bear whizz beer...it’s in the water”. or maybe “husky lite, it’s just right”!
Pretty sure it’ll have extra electrolytes.
Maybe in Europe there are separate lines. Would like to see their reclamation process and see if they test for the oddball chemicals and viruses and bacteria in the “grey” water.
Count me OUT.
