Brewery shifts to producing water
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) - Sri Lanka's top brewery normally produces 160,000 bottles of beer a day. Now the plant has turned its technical might to producing a very different beverage: potable water for the survivors of the Asian tsunami disaster.

The production shift by the Lion Brewery didn't come without a few problems - chief of which was that the water still looked like beer because of the colour and labelling of the bottles, a company official said Saturday.

That's cool. Perhaps the wt could learn something. Perhaps if they made the mags of quilted paper, then they could be put to good use as towels, toilet paper, nappies, etc.

I think some of the large breweries in the states have done this sort of thing for past disasters. I seem to remember TV commercials promoting it. Pretty impressive.

Very cool. Water is far more important than beer right now for them. Hopefully all can get sorted out quickly over there so beer can again become as important as water.
