May 9, 20179 yr Would you try this beer? New beer, the ‘Pisner,’ is made from human urine - NY Daily News Gee whiz! Get ready to discover your new favorite beer, “Pisner,” made with the urine of drunk festivalgoers. Sounds like the opposite of hygge. Two years ago, 50,000 liters of urine were collected from the Roskilde Music Festival in Denmark for the purposes of crafting a new type of recyclable beer. Pisner, on sale this year, doesn’t actually contain any human waste. Rather, the barley used to make the beer was fertilized with the urine. Beer is typically fertilized with animal manure or synthentic plant material. (This Belgian beer is made by extracting water from urine.) The microbrewery that produces the lager is Nørrebro Bryghus, also of Denmark, which says it draws inspiration from American, Belgian, German and Czech brewing traditions. The Danish Agriculture & Food Council calls it “beercycling.” “The huge amount of urine produced at festivals was having a negative impact on the environment and the sewage system,” DAFC representative Leif Nielsen told the Guardian in 2015. “But beercycling will turn the urine into a resource.” The plan is the serve the beer at Roskilde 2017 (June 24 through July 1) and at various stores in Denmark. This year, acts including Nas, Foo Fighters, Solange, The Weeknd and Lorde can order a pint of .... beer before they get on stage. But there are no plans to replicate the experiment at Roskilde 2017.
