Human beings are quite good at turning beer into urine, but up until recently, nobody (that we know of) has reversed the process.
Nørrebro Bryghus, a Danish microbrewery located in Copenhagen, is now using human waste water to help brew their new “Pisner” beer, reports Reuters.
But lest any drinkers swear off the brewery’s offerings forever, Nørrebro Bryghus claims they’re not using the urine in the actual brewing process; rather, they’re fertilizing their barley, which will eventually be utilized to brew the beer, with the waste water.
The release of the brewery’s Pisner also follows news of Belgian researchers who created a method for separating nutrients and water from urine in 2016. At the time, they hoped to be able to use the recycled urine to provide clean drinking water to rural areas, to create fertilizer, and yes, to brew beer.
