Bottle skin
I’ll hold more
More than grain and time –
trace
Drawn from Taproots
And spool
For cleaning
Kettle Mist’s
and steel skinvatt.
Relief for the form
Residues wait –
Ghost Thread
Span from Fireflood
And filthy,
A gaping mouth.
Where
A bite
And the taste
Chain is incompatible –
Thirst binding
I’ll get caught up in
Each unconscious pours.
This poem is inspired Recent researchwhich is known to contain “eternal chemicals” associated with health risks.
Beer has been enjoying it for thousands of years, but water safety is subject to increased scrutiny. One new concern is the existence of PFA. This is a group of synthetic chemicals called “eternal chemicals” because they don’t easily break down in the environment. These substances are widely used in industrial and consumer products and are now found in drinking water supplies all over the United States. Because water is an important ingredient in beer, there is growing interest in whether PFA is in our pint and what it means for public health and consumer choices.
The study aims to explore that question by testing the range of beer from various regions, breweries and water sources across the United States. Using a newly adapted testing method, researchers found that they sampled the PFA of most beers from beers brewed near the water supply, which are previously known to be affected. Some beers even contained levels of PFA that exceeded the official safety threshold. The findings reveal a clear link between contaminated water sources and PFA levels in beer, raising concerns among brewers, regulators and drinkers. By highlighting this connection, this study provides valuable evidence to guide policy decisions, inform brewing practices, and help people make more informed choices about what they drink.
