Phoenix Brewers Are Going to Use Reclaimed Wastewater to Make Beer. Really.
Sometimes, you don't really want to know how the sausage is made.
Or, in this case, the beer.
We're going to take a hard pass on an invitation extended by the city of Phoenix to observe the "AZ Pure Water Brew Truck" in action on Tuesday as the city treats reclaimed wastewater and then heads out to make some special deliveries.
The idea, as explained in a media release from city wastewater treatment officials, is to "fight the wastewater taboo" by inviting local brewers to brew beer using reclaimed wastewater. There's even going to be a contest to see who can brew the best-tasting beer.
Participating brewers, according to the city, include OHSO, Two Brothers Tap House & Brewery, Mother Bunch Brewing, Goldwater Brewing Co., McFate Brewing Company, and more. There will be a competition at the National WaterReuse Symposium in September to see whose beer is the best.
