George Washington's 1757 beer recipe has been brought back to life by a brewery ahead of America's 250th birthday.

The New York Public Library partnered with TALEA Beer Co. to recreate the brew from Washington's military journal, which he likely served to his troops during the Seven Years' War.

The original recipe used only molasses for sugar — whatever soldiers had rationed at camp — and the result looked like "muddy water," according to the brewery's co-founder.

A company created a high-end single malt whisky made from diabetic people’s urine.

Living with type 1 diabetes himself, British designer James Gilpin created 'Gilpin Family Whisky' as an artistic exploration into the commodification of the human body.

Because diabetes compromises the body's ability to regulate blood glucose, patients with type 2 diabetes excrete significant amounts of sugar daily in their urine. Gilpin realized this abundant biological byproduct could serve as an alternative fermentation resource. Utilizing his own grandmother as his first donor to refine the process, he began collecting urine from elderly patients and individuals with aging endocrine systems.

To safely craft the bizarre blend, Gilpin filters the donated urine using methods similar to municipal water purification. The large, crystal-shaped sugar molecules are extracted, purified a second time, and mixed with a mash stock to accelerate fermentation. Once this is converted into a clear alcohol spirit, traditional whisky blends are introduced to give the final drink its signature color, taste, and viscosity. Far from a commercial product, the bespoke bottles—each labeled with the donor's name and age—serve as a provocative public engagement piece raising awareness about diabetes and sustainability.
