When summer comes, it’s time to eat barbecue and drink beer.
Barbeque stalls in the streets and alleys all have a few crooked wine bottles. Without a few bottles of cold, thirst-quenching beer, this hot summer always feels like something is missing.
Recently, Singapore launched a beer in response to the trend, which aroused the attention and heated discussion of many netizens as soon as it was launched.
You may be thinking, it’s just a beer. What’s worthy of your attention? Could it be brewed with gold?
This beer is not brewed with gold, but with recycled toilet water.
And some consumers said that the taste is very refreshing and soft, and it is worth trying.
I don’t know how everyone is reacting now. Anyway, I feel a little uncomfortable.
Flushing toilet water and brewing beer, what weird idea came up with this.
Not to mention how it tastes, is this hygienic up to standard?
According to Global Times report, beer is produced in cooperation with the Singapore Public Utilities Board and the famous local brewer Brewerkz. The new beer brewed by
is called Nerbrew. Up to 95% of the ingredients in the beer are composed of recycled water filtered from sewage and urine. When
is produced, the factory will first disinfect the recycled water with ultraviolet light, and then use a state-of-the-art filter membrane to filter out harmful impurities.
and then add yeast made of malt , hops , etc.
The brewery claims that Nerbrew uses the highest quality ingredients when promoting this beer. Premium German barley malt, aromatic Citra and Calypso hops, Norwegian farmhouse brewing yeast.
You can taste it as smooth as roasted honey as soon as you take it in. It is very suitable for drinking in the tropical climate of Singapore . The president of
beer factory even said that this beer not only demonstrates the high quality of NEWater, but also proves that sustainable development can also be "delicious."
Ah, this.
Let’s just say, will the president drink his beer?
Although the raw materials do look quite high-end, they are all imported. But when I think about toilet water, it’s really hard to swallow.
After seeing this, some friends may be curious about why recycled toilet water is used to brew beer. There is such a shortage of water in this place.
If you think so, you are right. Singapore is really short of water.
Singapore is located at the southern end of the Malay Peninsula and at the entrance and exit of the Malacca Strait. It is composed of Singapore Island and 63 nearby small islands.
Looking at the sea, there should be no shortage of water. But this is not the case. Singapore’s fresh water resources are very scarce. Per capita water resources rank second to last in the world, only slightly more than Morocco, which is located in the desert.
Water has always been imported from Malaysia, but the water supply agreement signed by the two countries in 1962 will expire in 2061. Where the future water resources will come from is unknown. Can Singapore not be worried?
In order to solve this problem, Singapore built a seawater desalination plant to study NEWater, also known as Newater.
Newater uses filtration, ultraviolet sterilization and other technologies to further purify the government's centralized treatment of domestic and industrial sewage to form high-quality pure water for people to drink.
This new beer is also brewed with Newwater, but I don’t know why it chose recycled toilet water.
This beer is currently on the shelves of major supermarkets in Singapore, and online purchase channels are also available.
will be sold in packs of three cans, priced at RMB 4.50 each.
Some netizens said, "Both those who drink and those who do not drink are silent."
"No wonder some people call beer horse urine."
"I will no longer drink imported beer.""
What do you think of this matter? Can you accept such a beer?
