The refreshing, intoxicating and fattening malt beverage goes back to the Babylonians and beyond.
We are not world-famous for our beer the way Germans and Czechs are. We don't even drink the most beer per capita.
The Czechs, at 132 liters per person per year, take that prize. Americans rank 12th behind such nations as Slovenia and Venezuela. Who knew?
But no nation, anywhere, brews more different kinds of beer, probably 100 varieties of lagers and pilsners, ales and porters and stouts.
As you travel across the United States, you may run into red ales, amber ales, golden ales, blond ales, cream ales, and something called "India pale ales", which aren't from India at all, but were first brewed in Britain for export to its India colony.
Americans brew light beers, wheat beers, rye beers, barleycorn beers, bock beers, all sorts of seasonal beers, "low-carb" beers and beers flavored with the essence of everything from blueberry to pumpkin to chili.美国人没有发明啤酒。
这种醒神、醉人且易使人发胖的麦芽饮料要追溯到巴比伦时期甚至更早。
我们的啤酒不像德国人和捷克人的那样举世闻名，我们人均喝啤酒量甚至还不是最高的。
捷克人以每人每年132公升摘得桂冠。美国人则位于12位，排在像斯洛文尼亚和委内瑞拉这样的国家之后。有谁知道呢？
但是任何国家、任何地方都酿造不出更多不同种类的啤酒，有包括贮藏啤酒、比尔森啤酒、爱丽斯啤酒、黑啤酒和烈性啤酒在内的大约100个品种。
当你穿越美国，你会看到红爱丽斯啤酒、琥珀啤酒、金色啤酒、金发爱丽斯啤酒、奶油啤酒以及一种被称作“印度淡啤酒”的酒，这种酒并不是来自于印度的，它最初酿造于英国以供于出口到其印度殖民地。
美国人酿造了淡啤酒、小麦啤酒、黑麦啤酒、大麦啤酒、烈性黑啤酒、各种各样的季节性啤酒、“低碳水化合物”啤酒以及加入了从蓝莓到南瓜再到辣椒的各种原料的啤酒。
