United States News Title: Toilet to tap: California brewery makes beer with treated SEWAGE water... and curious customers describe the taste as 'outstanding' Stone Brewing, a California brewery, has a beer that uses treated sewage water Curious customers tried Full Circle Pale Ale at a Thursday event in San Diego Verdict was positive: Patrons said it was 'fantastic,' 'outstanding' and 'delicious' Brew reflects city's mission to get third of water from recycled sources by 2021 A Southern California brewery has successfully tested a beer using treated sewage water. Stone Brewing, a large craft brewing operation headquartered in Escondido, presented its Full Circle Pale Ale to curious customers at an event Thursday in San Diego. The new ale is made using recycled, treated sewage water and is part of San Diego's plan, 'Pure Water San Diego,' to get a third of its water from recycled sources by 2021. And the verdict for the brew, which some have dubbed 'toilet to tap,' seemed to be quite positive, SF Gate reported. San Diego mayor Kevin Faulconer told the Times that the brew was 'fantastic' and added: 'Theres no better way to highlight the purity of this water.' Other patrons said the brew was 'outstanding' and 'delicious.' Patrons said the Full Circle Pale Ale was 'outstanding' and 'delicious,' despite some concern over it seeming to come from 'toilet to tap.' The brew is related to San Diego's mission to supply one third of its drinking water using recycled sources.

Pictured: A brewer at the company's HQ The brew's creator, Steve Gonzalez, said that despite initial doubts, the taste delivered. He said: 'Among the pale ales that I've made, it's probably in the top three.' Stone Brewing's Senior Manager of Brewing and Innovation, Steve Gonzalez, created the beer and said that he was doubtful at first. But all doubts were dispelled when he tried his brew. He told ABC 10: 'Among the pale ales that I've made, it's probably in the top three.' The beer was made with three malts and three hops and has 'caramel' and 'tropical fruit' notes. The recycled water only needed some salts before brewing. The brewery is used to using different water sources - which in turn have different properties - following California's extreme drought conditions. Stone Brewing hopes to make the Full Circle Pale Ale available soon. Poster Comment: Taste for shit. Several years ago I drank a pint of this brew. Never again!

This guy is my new hero when it comes to truth in advertising. As for why people in Ca think it takes good,it probably reminds them of the water they grew up drinking in Old Mexico. The lumps in it probably make them nostalgic.
LOL, makes sense. Unfortunately, it will not make them want to move back.
