题目:Craft Brewery Meets Changing Tastes
Welcome to American Mosaic from Learning English.
Im June Simms.
Today on the show we hear from the new album by country star Dierks Bentley.
But first, a report on the art and science of beer making.
People have enjoyed beer for thousands of years. Beer is a popular alcoholic drink in many countries, including the United States. The US has several major beer manufacturers, such as Anheuser-Busch and Miller. But the country is also home to hundreds of small brewing companies. Marsha James tells us about one such brewery in California.
A passenger train passes Golden Road Brewery, a small beer producer and restaurant in the city of Los Angeles. Golden Road Brewing opened two years ago in an industrial part of LA. It is housed in old railway buildings.
Inside the owners and brewers hold a weekly meeting to taste the product.
Co-owner Meg Gill says this meeting today is especially important.
This is our first taste of a lot of the barrel-aged beers that weve been working on anywhere from six months to two years.
Each brew has its own special balance of flavors.
Co-owner Tony Yanow makes changes to the mix of malt and hops, two ingredients, for every kind of beer. Sometime he makes the beer taste like coffee or fruit. The process has many steps. It starts with crushing grain. The resulting liquid must be boiled and made clean, says Mr. Yanow.
