The AW400 generates clean and exceptionally pure water, making it a great water source for brewers and the perfect canvas for exploring new styles and flavors," said Julia Cain, Director of Research & Development, Ballast Point Brewing Co. "Utilizing Ambient Water's atmospheric water generators could provide us with the water we need while bolstering our precious water supply. Plus, it's a great story to tell people they are drinking beer with natural condensation in it. Unique stories like that are what craft beer is all about."

Ballast Point brewed two pilsners using pure water from Ambient's water generator at UCSD, which extracts moisture from the coastal fog. Named CleanEscape #1 (5.3% ABV) and CleanEscape #2 (5.5% ABV) after pirates escaping into fog banks, the beers explore how higher sulfate in water can enhance hop taste and bitterness, along with testing higher chloride levels to enhance mouthfeel and malt. CleanEscape #1 has more chloride, while CleanEscape #2 has more sulfate.

CleanEscape is a San Diego take on a classic Pilsner -- clean and refreshing, with more hops. The resulting beer isn't as hoppy as an IPA, but features hints of floral and slightly fruity hop notes. The greatest benefit of the water produced from Ambient Water to the breweries is its purity.

This allows the breweries to add their own ingredients to it to mimic water tastes from around the world, and brew beers that have never been tasted before. Water from an Ambient Water atmospheric water generator has only 7 PPM (particles per million), as compared to water from the City of San Diego that has 700 PPM.
