It may seem strange, after all, when it comes to drinks, we also imagine that the water they contain comes from gallons or even reservoirs. However, beers made with wastewater are already a reality being implemented by some companies around the world.
Although something surprising, the facilities manage to collect the liquid contaminated with all kinds of contaminants and turn it into something drinkable. In this way, the article can reach the consumer in good quality without the risk of altering the taste.
The idea behind the creation of canal beers came about to further emphasize the idea of conserving natural resources and draw people’s attention to the impending water shortage.

The company New Carnegie Brewery in Hammarby Sjöstad, Sweden was invited by the IVL Swedish Environmental Institute (IVL) in 2018 to take part in a challenge to produce a beer with treated wastewater.
So the brewery agreed to join the dispute and managed to treat the liquid through several purification steps and then create the PU:REST beer.
Although the novelty had spread around the world, only a limited edition of the drink was produced, which quickly sold out.

Another beer with the same footprint was made in the city of San Diego, California by the Pure Water program, which aimed to address the city’s water shortage.
The aim of the program was to produce clean water from the city’s wastewater. Among the companies selected to participate in the idea, San Diegobased brewery Stone Brewing was invited to create a beer using the leftover liquid.
This is how the company created the Full Circle Pale Ale Beer. During the introduction, even the city’s mayor tasted the drink and said it was fantastic.

One of the beers made with sewage is Vira. The drink comes from Portugal and was made earlier this year.
In addition to the cleaning process, the water used in the beer was subjected to a differentiated treatment using ozonation and reverse osmosis.
Vira was launched in early 2022 through a partnership between the companies Cerlinx and Águas do Tejo Atlântico and Moinhos Água e Ambiente.
