Since water is a key ingredient in beer, it being mostly water, polluted water threatens beer quality.

Thursday a group of 59 craft breweries sent a letter to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers opposing the agencies' "Dirty Water Rule" proposal to slash clean water protections for waterways around the country.

These brewers, who are partners in NRDC's Brewers for Clean Water campaign, are standing up for safeguards that protect the sources of clean water on which their businesses depend.

    Just how will that remove metals and their salts, glyphosate, or even the usual phosphates and nitrogen compounds?

    What's going on that those will become a problem? A lot of things can cause "taint". The worst is none of the above chemicals, but bacteria and viruses which can grow exponentially in water supplies, but are very easy to remove, if you know what you're doing.
