A Southern California brewery² has successfully tested a beer using treated sewage water.

 

美国南加州的一家酿酒厂成功测试了一款用处理过的污水酿成的啤酒。

 

Stone Brewing³, a large craft brewing operation headquartered in Escondido, presented its Full Circle Pale Ale to curious customers at an event lately 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 brew¹, which some have dubbed⁴ 'toilet to tap,' seemed to be quite positive, SF Gate reported.

 

San Diego mayor Kevin Faulconer told the Times that the brew was 'fantastic' and added: 'There’s no better way to highlight the purity of this water.'

 

Other patrons said the brew was 'outstanding' and 'delicious.'

 

Stone Brewing's Senior Manager of Brewing and Innovation, Steve Gonzalez, created the beer and said that he was doubtful at first.

 

But all doubts were dispelled⁵ when he tried his brew.

 

He told ABC 10: 'Among the pale ales that I've made, it's probably in the top three.'
