Singapore’s New Creation Amazes Everyone. The Singapore Water Agency, in collaboration with local craft brewery Brewerkz, has introduced a craft beer primarily made from ultra-clean water.
As an island nation renowned for its cleanliness, Singapore has successfully transformed wastewater into ultra-clean drinking water.
The new beer is made of 95% recycled wastewater.
This time, the Singapore Water Agency has utilized clean recycled water from wastewater to create this new beer. It has the appearance and taste of regular beer, with a hint of honey flavor, and is composed of 95% recycled wastewater.
The water is treated at the Singapore Water Agency’s water reclamation plants before undergoing further refinement using advanced membrane filtration technology and ultraviolet disinfection.
This new beer once again proves that Singapore’s famous recycled water not only meets international standards for safe drinking water but is also clean enough to produce other beverages.
The beer production process particularly requires clean water to avoid affecting the flavor of the malt, with farm-sourced yeast being highly sought after from Norway.
Tan Wee Han, the owner of Brewerkz, stated: “Newbrew beer is proof of high-quality recycled water, demonstrating sustainable development capabilities while still tasting very good.”
Previously, this beer was introduced at an environmental conference in 2018 but was not released to the market at that time.
After more than three years, craft beer enthusiasts will finally have the chance to taste this unique beverage. The beer made from recycled water is now officially available on the market.
The Singapore Water Agency shared that by creating this new beer, they have found a solution to the water crisis while raising awareness about Singapore’s water scarcity issues.
Jason, 31, commented: “I’ve tried it and can distinguish it from other beers. It’s a novel drink with a special flavor.”
This is not the first beer made from recycled water in the world. Water companies in several other countries have also collaborated with breweries to produce similar beers. In 2017, in San Diego, USA, craft brewery Stone Brewing launched a beer made from recycled water.
