#25: PFAS in your pint – What’s brewing in our water?

Tap Season 1 Episode 25

In this episode of Tap’d In, hosts Jordan and Lana crack open a startling new study: nearly every beer tested in the U.S. contains PFAS—those stubborn “forever chemicals” linked to serious health risks. Based on recent reporting from The Guardian, the episode explores how local water quality directly affects what ends up in your drink, with contamination traced back to the water used in brewing. Jordan and Lana discuss what this means for consumers, brewers, and policymakers—and whether advanced filtration could be the key to keeping both our beers (and bodies) cleaner.
