German Beer Goes Green: Brewed from Recycled Wastewater
Key Points:
– A German brewery, Andechs, has started using recycled wastewater to make beer (BBC News)
– The water is treated to remove contaminants and is then used in the brewing process (Deutsche Welle)
– Andechs has been using this method for over a decade, saving around 1.5 million liters of water per year (Reuters)
Hot Take:
Well, cheers to that! I’m raising a glass of recycled wastewater beer to the future of sustainable brewing. I mean, if it’s good enough for the Germans, it’s good enough for me. After all, if you can’t trust a beer that’s been through the sewers, what can you trust? Prost!
