A California company parlayed its water recycling expertise into the creation of a beer made from a San Francisco residential building’s wastewater.
加利福尼亞州一家企業利用其水資源回收專業知識，將舊金山一棟住宅大樓的廢水生產成啤酒。
Water treatment company Epic Cleantec teamed with Devil’s Canyon Brewing Co. to create Epic OneWater Brew, a Kölsch-style ale made using recycled water from showers, sinks and washing machines in Fifteen Fifty, a 40-story luxury apartment building.
水處理公司Epic Cleantec與釀酒廠Devil’s Canyon合作，利用40層奢華公寓大樓「1550」的浴室、洗手台和洗衣機的回收水，釀造出一種名為Epic OneWater Brew的科隆麥芽啤酒。
The beer is not currently for sale due to regulations banning recycled wastewater from being used in commercial beverages, but it proved to be a big hit at a conference on sustainable building technologies.
這款啤酒目前並未販售，因為法規禁止回收的廢水被用於製造商業飲料，但事實證明，它在一場有關永續建築技術的會議上大受歡迎。
"We ended up producing just over 7,000 cans, not as a commercial product, but as an educational effort," said Aaron Tartakovsky, CEO and co-founder of Epic Cleantec.（UPI）
Epic Cleantec執行長兼共同創辦人艾倫‧塔爾塔科夫斯基說：「我們最終生產7000多罐，不是當成商業產品，而是一種教育努力。」
