Average human output......1 liter a day. At that rate it would take the world population 767293.5 days (2100.7 years) of drinking nothing but this beer to raise the ocean level 1cm. That's assuming 510million square km of area. Of course, if you drink nothing but beer.....it will probably take like 1/4 of that time. I don't know about you......but I urinate constantly when beer is in play. Of course, I'm tired and these calculations could be way off. I never claimed to be a mathematician.

This is all just mental masturbation haha; but how much urine do you think it would take to raise the ocean level by 1cm? That question might give me something to do while I fight off insomnia tonight. Ahh, sorry.

There is land under the Greenland icecap. Calin -

That’s only for icecaps that are over the ocean. There is land under the Greenland icecap.

So much for global warming. If you've ever been in a pub with a bunch of Danish sailors you know where all that glacial melt is going. This explains the disappearing ice sheet over Greenland.

Came out pretty good though I think that steam water makes for the best (completely pure). Chalice Well water is stuff that hasn't seen the light of day for 80,000 years, but it's also loaded with minerals. I made some beer once from Chalice Well water (isle of Avalon and all that).

I brew my own with store bought materials (no ice cap needed) and it tastes better than anything I've had from commercial breweries, domestic or import.

The water in this beer is much older than 2k years, they just don’t want to mention that before 2k years ago some fish was pooping in it. Besides, I can say that my drinking water is much older because it comes from Lake Michigan and that body of water was formed over 14k years ago. booya!
