If you are a party person who also likes chilled beer, here we have thrilling news for you. In Singapore, the government has a sewage water recycling plant that purifies sewage water. They call this water NEWater.
Moreover, Singapore's NEWater is made by disinfecting sewage with ultraviolet light and passing the liquid through filters to remove contaminant particles. Now this NEWater is used to make beer! This Beer is a collaboration with local craft brewery Brewerkz. This is called NEWBrew! NEWBrew went on sale in supermarkets and at Brewerkz outlets in April this year. People are loving this beer. "I seriously couldn't tell this was made of toilet water," said Chew Wei Lian, a 58 year old man, who had purchased the beer from a supermarket to try after hearing about it. "I don't mind having it if it was in the fridge. I mean, it tastes just like beer, and I like beer." the man said. However, not everyone is convinced. "There are many kinds of beers around," said 22 year old Singapore student Low Yu Chen. "If I wanted a beer, I'd pick something made of normal water."
Still, if you're in Singapore and you want to taste it yourself, you may need to be quick. The first batch of NEWBrew is already sold out on tap at Brewerkz restaurants and the company expects stocks at supermarkets will run out. Brewerkz said it will look at the market response before deciding whether to make another batch. Key to expanding the technology is to persuade the public that, once the water has been processed and cleaned, it's just the water. The idea of processing sewage into drinking water was once largely resisted. Now it has been gaining support in the past 10 years as the world's supply of fresh water is increasingly under stress. Israel and Singapore that have limited fresh water resources have already started recycling sewage water for drinking purposes. Los Angeles and London are examining plans to follow it too.
