A new blond ale being sold in Singapore will allow beer-drinkers to literally “get pissed.” The alcoholic beverage, called NEWBrew, uses recycled sewage water to create the drink. It first went on sale in stores in the Asian city-state in April. The beverage is made from NEWater — specially treated sewage water first introduced in 2003.

Singapore’s National Water Agency launched a new beer that uses filtered liquid from sewage water to raise awareness of the country’s rising water scarcity issue. Claimed to be one of Singapore’s greenest beers, the alcoholic beverage label, called NewBrew, uses recycled sewage water that is pumped and filtered from the country’s water supply.

Singapore is one of the most water-stressed countries in the world. One way they've addressed this is by recycling sewage water. They call it NEWater and it meets 40% of their water needs. A small portion is used as tap water. Now the government has partnered with a local brewery to create a beer called NEWBrew, made from recycled drinking water.
