A Southern California brewery has successfully tested a beer using treated sewage water.
Stone Brewing, a large craft brewing operation headquartered in Escondido, presented its Full Circle Pale Ale to curious customers at an event Thursday in San Diego.
The new ale is made using recycled, treated sewage water and is part of San Diego's plan, 'Pure Water San Diego,' to get a third of its water from recycled sources by 2021.
And the verdict for the brew, which some have dubbed 'toilet to tap,' seemed to be quite positive, SF Gate reported.

The Beer is said to have "Tropical" notes. Yeah, I bet.
And a nutty flavor up front on the palate...
Stone makes very good beer. I wouldn’t touch this one. Someone made a really stupid business decision here.
And I thought Budweiser had the market on piss water
Anheuser Busch and Ballantines figured this out a long time ago
Only beer in a California with a bown head of foam on it.

Of all places. I’m from Los Angeles originally, and I spent a lot of time in San Diego before it became totally Mexican. If you are an illegal, you head to San Diego. Used to be beautiful, now a third-world toilet. Of all places, they use sewage from there. My god what were they thinking
And Schlitz!
Rolling Rock closed their brewery in Latrobe PA and moved to New Jersey. They joined the ranks of Budweiser where you take one sip and say, “this horse definitely had diabetes”.
Beer’s main selling point is the purity of the water it’s brewed with. I mean Holy Cr@p!
Pity. I used to (emphasize the past tense here) like Stone products.
Oh, well.

HAHAHHA! Comment of the day!
Beer goes right through you because it does not have to stop and change color. I suppose it could get a darker and darker color by recycling in this way.
You don’t want any illegal-alien AIDS-poop beer? What’s wrong with you?
Yeah, using this process in third world countries facing droughts, good.
Using it for the #### of it when there’s plenty of water?
Not so good.
Hate to bust some bubbles, but all water has been recycled, millions and millions of times.
That's what made Coor's popular. Rocky mountain water. Not Rocky's used water.

This is the way of the future. Even here in Florida, my utility is trying to push out a “One Water” narrative as a talking point instead of the old “Water/Wastewater/Reclaim” way of describing our business.
People will have to drink treated sewage to keep those lawns lush and green!
