Hipster Brewery Turning Poop Water into Beer… Wait What!?

NY Daily News Maybe someday the slogan will change from “This Bud’s for You” to “This Bud’s from Poo.” After all, an Oregon government environmental panel has approved a plan for local brewers to use recycled sewage water — a source of H2O that the group says will be increasingly necessary due to climate change. Utility company Clean Water Services will give the repurposed water to Oregon Brew Crew, a Portland-based home brewing club that will use the funky stuff to highlight the need for new sources of water.It takes an average of five barrels of water to make one barrel of beer, said Lee Hedgmon, the president of Oregon Brew Crew. “Brewing is a very water-intesive process,” she added. “I think breweries would benefit from ways to conserve.”

I can only imagine the death sentence being in charge of Oregon Brew Crew’s marketing. After years reissuing the same Hoppy Hour joke this person a nasty curve ball when this memo landed on their desk.

This is almost on the same naivety level as your parents romantic encounters. Personally, I firmly believe I was immaculately conceived so as to avoid any thoughts of the truth. While I’m sure at some level, the water flowing out of my pipes may trace back to something leaking out of someone’s butt, I like to wear blinders and believe it comes from some fancy spring. Obviously Alleghany Punch is no Dasani but so long as there is enough ice you can make any city water work.

Guys in skinny jeans and mustaches were considered creepy before the hipsters made it trendy. I have a real sense of fear at this idea that they are taking this environmental approach mainstream and before you know it, poop water is everywhere. We as a people have to keep a close eye on this because if we are not careful we will end up with poop water inspiring the next edition of Lays “name the new flavor and get paid” contest.
