Beer lovers are known to be kind of picky. Hey, we like what we like. Some prefer a skunkier taste, while others like a light, smooth flavor. Well there’s a new brew on the horizon, made from the waters of the Boston River. The idea started with a challenge which invites local breweries to, well, use local water. The challenge’s aim is to both educate the public about resource consumption and to have fun. If and when a few new tasty brews emerge from the River, that’ll be even better.

Key Takeaways:

• Upgrades to wastewater treatment plants over the decades since, now prevent raw sewage from being dumped directly into the river, and environmental regulators have cracked down on improper sewer connections.
• The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency gave the Charles a B+ for meeting water quality standards for almost all boating and some swimming in its most recent annual report card.
• So I think it’s safe to say that not only can you drink this beer, but you’re going to want to.
