Ted Assur's Belgian wins first Pure Water Challenge

Homebrewer Ted Assur's Vox Max Belgian Won the first Pure Water Brew Competition - a Challenge to Home Brewers to Create the Best Tasting Beers with Water Drawn from the Tualatin River

The competition was a unique public/private collaboration of the Oregon Brew Crew, Clean Water Services and Carollo Engineers to get people talking about water.

Each winning brewer received a cash prize and the four winning beers will travel to New Orleans on September 28 for the national WateReuse Association's One Water Innovations gala at WEFTEC, the world's largest water quality exhibition.

In June, 1,000 gallons of water was pulled from the Tualatin River immediately downstream from Clean Water Services Durham wastewater treatment facility, where the flow is 30 percent effluent.

The water was put through Clean Water Services' high purity water treatment system to clean it above and beyond drinking water standards. After purification, the water was offered to Portland-area home brewers who used it to brew beer for the Oregon Brew Crew's groundbreaking Pure Water Brew competition held Saturday at ABV Public House in Hillsboro, Oregon. Thirteen brewers made 16 styles of beer to be judged.

Winners were announced Saturday following a tasting by judges from the local community, including Andy Duyck, Chairman of Clean Water Services and Art Larrance, founder of Cascade Brewing and Portland Brewing co-founder
