New Type of Texas Gusher

Posted July 15, 2007 8:00 AM by Steve Melito

If a pilot plant goes online as scheduled, some Texans may be drinking from a new water source after 2010 — the Gulf of Mexico. The state is investing millions of dollars into a full-scale desalination project where seawater is pumped to pretreatment units, and onto the reverse osmosis process. Desalination, says the Texas Water Development Board, is one of the "tools in the toolbox."

Desalinated water actually tastes pretty good and makes good beer too! I had the opportunity to sample desalinated water on Curacao, their tap water is generated from a large desalination plant. Amstel Bright beer, brewed on the island uses the desalinated water. It's good!

Amstel Bright Brewed with desalinated seawater and 100% natural Curacao ingredients, Amstel Bright is a light, thirst-quenching Caribbean sensation. Amstel Bright is only available in the Netherlands and in the Netherlands Antilles.

Besides Amstel, I like Shiner Bock:
