Yum…acidy.

RainHarvest Systems has partnered with 5 Seasons Brewery to produce beer made entirely from on-site captured rainwater. RainHarvest Systems, an expert in rainwater catchment systems, and 5 Seasons Restaurant and Brewery, Atlanta’s premier micro brewery, both believe this to be the first micro brewed beer to be made entirely with rainwater in the United States.

As part of the partnership, 5 Seasons Brewery is creating a beer to be used by RainHarvest Systems for publicity events intended to promote awareness of rainwater catchment. The first event [occurred] on September 14th, 2009 at 7PM at The Decatur Square in Decatur, Georgia, during the National Conference for the American Rainwater Catchment Systems Association.

I highly recommend traveling outside the city limits for the moment and reading this Creative Loafing article by Scott Freeman about how the clumsy, amoral monster that is the Sembler Company has nearly put 5 Seasons Brewhouse out of business due to their clash at the Prado location in Sandy Springs.

The money quote from 5 Seasons owner Dennis Lange, “Simply put, Five Seasons is worth more to Sembler ‘dead than alive’ because Five Seasons is ‘in the way’ of Sembler maximizing its profits at The Prado.”

Not only do they propagate a perverted version of smart growth around Atlanta, but they also kill local business in the process! What efficiency!
