Greenland Ice Cap Beer - Cleaner & Smoother ???
A brewery in Greenland is producing beer using water melted from the ice cap of the vast Arctic island. The brewers claim that the water is at least 2,000 years old and free of minerals and pollutants.
The first 66,000 litres of the new dark and pale ales are on their way to the Danish market.
The beer from Greenland - a semi-autonomous Danish territory - has 5.5% alcohol and costs 37 kroner (£3.4; five euros) per half-litre bottle.
It is the first ever Inuit microbrewery - located in Narsaq, a hamlet 625km (390 miles) south of the Arctic Circle.

It is claimed that the Greenland beer, officially launched in Copenhagen on Monday, has a softer, cleaner taste than other beers, because of the ice cap water.
The gigantic island of Greenland measures 2.2 million square km (844,000 square miles) - 85% of it covered with ice that is up to 4,000 metres (11,000 feet) thick.

Cleaner? Maybe… Water is clean, but once you put the crops in the water during brewing process, you introduce contaminants (eg, minerals & metals) into the water. No? So, is it really cleaner?
Not all minerals are bad. For example, fluoride in tap water helps fight dental caries.
