beers made in the hezeweizen style
German Beer Styles:
"Hefe" means yeast, "Weizen" means wheat. Hefeweizen is a top fermented, unfiltered, bottle conditioned wheat beer with a noticeable yeast sediment and a cloudy appearance. Wheat beers are also referred to as Weissbiers (white beers) because before the invention of pale lagers and pale ales, most beers were dark. Wheat beers were the exception as the wheat content lightened the colour of the beer.2012年8月22日 星期三
台灣人實際退休年齡平均為60.4歲

台灣人早退休、早享福？
作者：林昭儀2012/08/10
另外，主計總處的調查發現，2010年退休的5萬多人當中，有57.5％落在55至64歲之間，另有三成的人退休時的年齡，介於45至54歲的區間。
當人們平均壽命愈來愈長，能用以支付退休金的國家資源卻相對有限，早退休、早享福的想法是否仍適用於現代，值得重新思考。（林昭儀）

Alcohol in the Muslim world
NOBODY knows exactly when Islamic scholars decided that booze was sinful. In the 1970s political Islam led some countries such as Iran and Pakistan to ban alcohol, although many do not and exceptions are made for non-Muslims. In some countries the punishment for Muslims caught quaffing are severe: 80 lashes in the case of Iran. Things may get more arid yet as Islamist parties from Indonesia to Tunisia moot restrictions on alcohol. The number of drinkers varies by country, but some put the total at 5% of those identifying themselves as Muslim. Drinking may even be on the rise. Between 2001 and 2011 sales of alcohol in the Middle East, where Muslims dominate, grew by 72%, against a global average of 30%. That rise is unlikely to be accounted for by non-Muslims and foreigners alone. The black market for spirits flourishes in Libya, while Iranians are adept at producing home brew. Could Islam become more tolerant of drinking? A handful of scholars permit alcohol as long as it is not made from grapes and dates, because these are specifically mentioned in the Koran.

水果啤酒 (台酒)
水果啤酒45天熱銷500 萬瓶的祕密
圖片來源：鍾士為六十一歲的老台酒人徐安旋，如何扭轉台灣菸酒的行銷力？
過去一個半月，台灣菸酒的芒果、鳳梨啤酒，在網路上發酵。臉書上，隨時有人貼上新買到的啤酒照片炫耀，也有人急著詢問哪裡才買得到，或者轉貼試飲感想。
夏天飲料戰才要開打，台酒新品水果啤酒，已經搶下頭彩。
上市一個半月，水果啤酒銷出超過五百萬瓶，最好的成績，拿下啤酒市佔六％。過去新品上市，只要能搶下三％，就已經相當成功。
這是缺貨下的數字。全家便利商店商品部部長黃君毅說，他們幾乎每天下單，但連訂兩天，可能只到一天的量，甚至只來六成。
水果啤酒成功搶市，打造這個時尚品牌的背後關鍵人物，卻是一位六十一歲的老將——二○一○年十一月底上任的台酒董事長徐安旋。
挑戰一一一歲的台灣菸酒
南昌路上，台酒的日式紅磚建築，氣派依舊。磨石子迴廊映著窗外光線，木造門窗更見證歷史。
百年建築依然矗立，台酒卻面臨和過去截然不同的挑戰。
說話時，總是淺淺地笑，眼睛瞇成線的徐安旋，是二十六年資歷的老台酒人。
他出身雲林斗南農家，從公賣局時代就在台酒。由主任秘書、副局長、副總經理、總經理，一路做到董事長，大小細節，都很清楚。
也因此，雖然他一派和氣，不太嚴詞厲色，但台酒員工私底下，都有點怕他。
