Summary The brewery is using 50,000 litres of urine collected during a music festival.
(Web Desk / Reuters) - A Danish brewery is making novelty beer produced from fields of malting barley fertilized with human urine rather than traditional animal manure or factory-made plant nutrients.
“In the beginning there was a lot of left and right sides, opinions about this project, but now when people understand what it’s all about, I think that it’s OK,” Henrik Van, the managing director at Norrebro Bryghus said.
The brewery is using 50,000 litres of urine collected during the Roskilde Music Festival in 2015 to produce a novelty beer.
The beer aptly named ‘Pisner’ is a clever wordplay of name of a beer & the local slang for urine.
Denmark’s agriculture and food council has named the technique “beercycling”.
