It's part of the airport's commitment to sustainability.
Drinking the condensation dripping from giant air conditioning units might not sound that appealing, but SAN insists it has taken all the steps to make its new SAN Test Pilot beer as enjoyable as any other Kolsch-style brew.
The water—which SAN says is actually "quite pure" to begin with—is typically used for washing or in cooling towers, but Airport Environmental Affairs reached out to the reclamation company Water Works about further purifying the water for other purposes "using ozone disinfection." That led to the idea of brewing a beer, and "Ballast Point was approached as they have experimented with water reclamation before.
The result of these efforts is SAN Test Pilot, a 5.8-percent ABV "Kolsch with Dortmunder Export characteristics," billed as "a light and crisp brew with notes of ripe fruit." Aaron Justus, director of research and development for Ballast Point explained, "We wanted to create a beer that would highlight the water as opposed to the hops, which we think we achieved in this easy-to-drink beer.
"The airport is always striving to enhance our sustainability efforts and find unique ways to use the reclaimed water we capture," Kim Becker, President/ CEO of the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority, said in the announcement. "This beer reaffirms our commitment to sustainability in a truly fun and innovative way."
