Something NEWbrew-ing Up

In a move that looks to set tongues wagging as well as set more sustainable targets towards eco-friendly practices, national water agency PUB and local craft beer brewery Brewerkz will be launching a new beer.

Called NEWbrew, the tropical blonde ale is made with 95 per cent NEWater - Singapore's brand of clean, high-quality recycled water. It was launched by national water agency PUB and local craft beer brewery Brewerkz, in conjunction with Singapore International Water Week (SIWW), a water conference that will be held from April 17 to 21 at Marina Bay Sands.

The new beverage highlights not only that Singapore's recycled water more than adheres to international standards of safe drinking water, but that it is also clean enough to be used in beer brewing. The process usually requires clean water so as not to contaminate the taste of the malt, hops and strains of yeast, which are carefully controlled by brewers to produce their craft beers.

"NEWbrew is a showcase of the high quality of Newater and is proof that sustainability can be delicious," said Mr Tan Wee Han, chief executive and owner of Brewerkz, during a media tasting session held at the Newater Visitor Centre in Tanah Merah:

Craft beer aficionados will be able to get their hands on the drink, from next Tuesday (April 12) to end-July, at supermarket chains FairPrice and Cold Storage, as well as online platforms and via Brewerkz's restaurants and e-store. The beer will be sold in packs of three cans, priced at $4.50 per can.
