Known as PU: REST , the new beer is co-produced by Stockholm's Nya Carnegiebryggeriet (New Carnegie) with the Swedish Environmental Research Institute (IVL) and Carlsberg brewery aims to convince consumers that "used water" can also become clean like tap water.

IVL claims that convincing people to drink recycled water is not a technical challenge, but a psychological challenge, so there is no better way to convince consumers about purity. of treated wastewater by using that water to brew beer.

PU: REST has just been launched to the market quickly called "crushed beer" on social networks.

PU: REST has just been launched in Sweden on May 25, and was quickly called "crushed beer" on social media, but its creators are still hopeful that this beer will help change the common perception about recycled wastewater.

"The difficulties in using this relatively cost-effective and energy-efficient method to produce non-technical drinking water are mostly emotional ," Staffan Filipsson, project manager at IVL share.

"Recycled water is just as pure and safe as normal tap water, but most people are still skeptical about drinking purified wastewater."

"In a world threatened by a shortage of clean water, we want to prove that we have the technology to recycle waste water into clean drinking water like tap water," Filipsson added.

Chris Thurgeson, New Carnegie's brewery expert, describes PU: REST as a "crystal clear soft beer" , and that his company accepts this challenge because they believe "the whole family production and consumers all have to think differently if we want to take care of the resources on Earth effectively ".

PU: REST is said to be "very clean and fresh", but according to comments on New Carnegie's brewery's Facebook page, consumers are not too excited about the product.
