This drink was created as a result of a collaboration between a water treatment company from San Francisco (California) called Epic Cleantec and beer manufacturer from Northern California Devil's Canyon Brewing Company. The Epic OneWater Brew was reportedly made from greywater - wastewater from dishes, laundry, bathroom showers and sinks - from a 40-story apartment complex in San Francisco.

“We wanted to do something fun that was supposed to be an engaging tool to connect with people, get them excited, and also showcase the untapped potential of water reuse,” said Aaron Tartakovsky, co-founder and CEO of Epic Cleantec.

Apparently, the drink is quite tasty. Matthew Canton, a journalist for The Guardian who tested the beer, described it as "pleasant", "crunchy" and "drinkable", with no "shower or wash aftertaste".

“We wanted to choose a beer that would appeal to everyone, as opposed to a more crafty beer like an IPA that some like and some don’t,” he added, speaking of choosing to create a Kölsch-style beer.

“I think that many people were skeptical about this project or did not dare to try the beer,” Tartakovsky said. “But I note that 99% of those who came with a little apprehension, as soon as they tried it, relaxed.”

Tartakovsky argues that if you're at all concerned about the safety of drinking treated water, then Epic's product may actually be safer for consumers than other beers, thanks to a rigorous testing process.

“A lot of times in a brewery you turn on the tap and whatever water you get is where you brew,” he continued. “In our case, we have so much control over the processing that we essentially give brewers a blank canvas.”

Overall, Epic OneWater Brew sounds like a creative way to deal with an ever-worsening water crisis. And, to be honest, most of us could probably say that when it comes to beer, it's been worse.
