Virginians can buy beers brewed with shower and laundry water

State of play: California-based Epic Cleantec, which purifies recycled water from residential and commercial buildings, launched Shower Hour IPA and Laundry Club Kölsch last month.

• It picked Virginia as one of 12 early test markets partly due to the state's growing craft beer scene, CEO Aaron Tartakovsky tells Axios.

How it works: The beers are brewed in partnership with California's Devil's Canyon Brewing using water cleaned by Epic's recycling system.

The catch: The only way Virginians can get them — for now — is by ordering a 4-pack online from Devil's Canyon's site.

• Expect to pay about $27 for Shower Hour and $24 for Laundry Club and $17 for shipping.

Yes, but: "Distribution in Virginia is actively underway," Tartakovsky says, but other details aren't available yet.

The bottom line: It's the gift no one will see coming — or forget.
