口语节目地址：http://bulo.hujiang.com/menu/11921/item/664232A few years ago, the Miller Brewing Company, now known as MillerCoors, made a "clear beer " until it discovered people prefer a rich, caramel color and a frothy head on their beers.
And Anheuser-Busch, America's biggest brewer - which is now Belgian-owned - is pushing a beer packed with 54 milligrams of caffeine in every 355-milliliter can.
Why so many kinds of beer?
Well, even though Anheuser-Busch, MillerCoors and a couple of other big breweries have bought out many of their competitors and dominate sales, there are more than 500 smaller "craft" breweries, as they're called, plus thousands of local "brewpubs" making beer in small batches.
Many of these breweries have developed a loyal following using social media and imaginative marketing. The wacky names of some of their beers - such as "Bad Frog," "Dead Armadillo," and "Weeping Radish Amber Lager " - have caught the attention of beer buyers at bars, restaurants and retail checkout stands.
We may not be the world's thirstiest beer-drinkers.
But we have raised many a tankard to the sentiment expressed by an early American statesman, Benjamin Franklin who is known to quaff a few cold ones in his time. Franklin said: "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. "现在被称为米勒康胜的米勒酿酒公司在几年前酿造出一款“净啤”，后来它发现人们更喜欢焦糖色的含有丰富泡沫的啤酒。
现在，比利时人控股的美国最大的啤酒酿造公司安海斯-布希正推出一款啤酒，其每355毫升的罐装啤酒中含有54毫升的咖啡因。
为什么会有这么多种啤酒呢？
这个嘛，即使安海斯-布希、米勒康胜以及一些其他的大型啤酒酿造公司已经收购了很多竞争对手并主导了市场，依然有超过500家被称为“作坊”的酿酒厂以及上千家在当地小批量出售自制啤酒的酒馆。
这些酿酒厂很多通过社交媒体和富有想象力的市场营销发展了一大批忠实的粉丝。他们的啤酒的那些奇怪的名字，比如“烂青蛙”，“死穿山甲”还有“哭泣的萝卜琥珀啤酒”，吸引了在酒吧、餐馆和零售店买啤酒的顾客的眼球。
我们可能不是世界上最渴的酒徒。
美国早期的政治家本杰明•富兰克林因豪爽痛饮啤酒而闻名。他曾说：“啤酒是上帝爱世人并愿世人快乐的证明。” 而人们端起大啤酒杯一次次地表达了这种情绪。
