Crafting our own conversation starters
Epic's Recycled Water Beers
In 2022, we brewed our own beer made with recycled wastewater to highlight water reuse as the next frontier for recycling and sustainable forward thinkers. After its viral success, we went commercial with the product, producing two new craft beers: the Shower Hour IPA and Laundry Club Kölsch. These beers are a testament to the quality of the water our systems produce.
