Not available in bars…yet

The Oregon Environmental Quality Commission recently approved the use of recycled sewage water to brew beer, the Oregon Public Broadcasting’s environmental news organization EarthFix reports.

Brewed via a purification process developed by Oregon’s Clean Water Services, the beer would not be available for commercial or retail use, and the finished product would still need to undergo tests to make sure it is safe to drink. And it won’t be on tap at any bars. It would only be served at tasting events hosted by its manufacturers, the home brewing club Oregon Brew Crew, and other water professional society functions.   Continue reading “Oregon Regulators Approve Plans to Make Beer Out of Sewage Water”

McGraw doesn’t need to defend his decision. He made it and now he owns it. Gun owners across the country have reacted to his choice in their own ways.

He is not going to change anyone’s mind. He has two choices now: Retirement or a long, slow slide into irrelevance.

Nearly 150 public school students in Spokane, Wash., have been booted from school for lacking documentation to prove they were vaccinated.

Washington requires all public school children be vaccinated against a variety of illnesses, although parents with religious, philosophical or medical justifications are allowed to obtain a waiver. However, it appears hundreds of students were allowed to go unvaccinated without even receiving those. School officials finally took action Monday, telling hundreds of parents their kids couldn’t come back to class unless they got their shots or a state-approved waiver.   Continue reading “Washington Kicks 143 Kids Out Of School For Not Vaccinating”
