About the Brewing Showcase
During the first weekend of Canal Convergence—from 6–10 p.m. on Nov. 4 and 5—the event will incorporate a drought-friendly beer festival, featuring craft beers brewed with recycled water. In 2019, Scottsdale Water became the first water agency in Arizona permitted to treat recycled water for potable use. The One Water Brewing Showcase at Canal Convergence will spotlight numerous beers crafted by Valley breweries (listed below) and made from recycled water delivered directly from Scottsdale’s Advanced Water Treatment Plant.
The One Water Brewing Showcase will feature a few different beers, all made with ultra-purified, recycled water, each night. The showcase is part of Canal Convergence’s sustainability efforts as we promote resource conservation and pursue our goal of becoming a zero-waste event.
