Singapore has taken innovations in beer-brewing a notch higher with the introduction of ‘Newbrew.’ While it may appear or taste like usual beer, there’s an unconventional twist to it. The brewery’s unique craft beer is made using ‘Newater,’ Singapore’s brand of clean, high-quality water recycled from sewage and urine.
About 95 per cent of Newbrew is made of Newater, which not only adheres to international standards of safe drinking water but also is tested clean enough to use for brewing beer.
With a smooth toasted honey-like aftertaste, the sewage-recycled beer is made using the finest ingredients such as premium German barley malts, aromatic Citra and Calypso hops, as well as kveik, a highly sought-after strain of farm-house yeast from Norway.
