In a joint press release by NEWater as well as Brewerkz, it was announced that a new craft beer known as NEWBrew will be released for sale to the public from 12 April 2022 to end July.
NEWBrew is described as smooth with a bit of bitterness and not too sweet and comprises 95 percent of NEWater, which is Singapore’s own water made from a desalination plant.
Ingredients include:
- Premium German barley malts
- Aromatic citra
- Calypso hops
- Kveik
The 2022 version of NEWBrew is a tropical blonde ale, available in packs of three and will cost $4.50 a can, and it can be purchased from NTUC FairPrice, Cold Storage, online platforms and Brewerkz’s restaurant and e-store.
The three cans will also feature different designs such as Marina Barrage, MacRitchie Reservoir and Singapore River which are three of Singapore’s water landmarks.
To be served at Singapore’s International Water Week 2022
NEWBrew will also be served at Singapore’s International Water Week (SIWW) 2022 for the second time, with the first occasion being in 2018.
SIWW’s managing director, Mr Ryan Yuen was quoted saying:
“NEWBrew is possibly Singapore’s greenest beer and the perfect accompaniment to this year’s SIWW, with its key themes of climate resilience, resource circularity and water sustainability”
“We are delighted to partner Brewerkz to bring NEWBrew back again, as it is also part of PUB’s efforts to educate Singaporeans on the importance of water recycling and reuse as a strategy to achieve water sustainability. It also reinforces the message that NEWater is perfectly wholesome and safe for drinking, and can be used to make a great tasting beer.”
