The phrase “toilet to tap” has taken on a whole new meaning in Oregon. Oregon Brew Crew (OBC), the state’s oldest home beer-brewing club, has formed an unlikely partnership with Clean Water Services, a water resources management utility that runs 4 wastewater treatment plants in the Portland area. Together they are turning recycled wastewater into beer. The duo is sponsoring the second annual Pure Water Brew Sustainable Beer Challenge, an event that breaks new ground by requiring contestants to use recycled wastewater as the base for their home-brews.
