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.

    Shockingly, if you stop punishing companies for polluting, they'll start polluting again.

    This "stop punishing" thing is not happening yet.

    Regulation exists because at some point it was proved that without the regulation, jerks wouldn't act reasonably in the first place.

    But regulation also exists because some politicians wanted to pretend to do something.
