Episode #19 - New Year's resolutions

Cerita Pendek Indonesia (A1-A2)

02 Kesukaan

The head brewmaster for Weihenstephan, the world's oldest brewery, has a secret: he really likes alcohol-free beer.

Even though he's quick to say he obviously enjoys real beer more, Tobias Zollo says he savors alcohol-free beer when he's working or eating lunch. It has the same taste but fewer calories than regular beer because the alcohol has been removed.

"You can't drink beer every day — unfortunately," he joked at the brewery in the German town of Freising, about 31 kilometers north of Munich.

Alcohol-free beer has been gaining popularity in recent years as beer consumption shrinks.

At the Weihenstephan brewery, which was founded in 1040, non-alcoholic beer now makes up 10% of the volume. The increase since they started making alcohol-free drinks in the 1990s, mirrors the statistics for the rest of Germany's beer industry.

"The people are unfortunately — I have to say that as a brewer — unfortunately drinking less beer," said Zollo. "If there's an alternative to have the crisp and fresh taste from a typical Weihenstephan beer, but just as a non-alcoholic version, we want to do that."

This summer, Munich's first alcohol-free beer garden opened near the city's main train station. And even at Oktoberfest alcohol-free beer is on the menu.

The festival, which began on September 21 and continues until October 6, has 18 large tents and all but two of them offer alcohol-free beer. The sober beverage costs the same as an alcoholic beer — between $15 and $17 for a 1-liter mug — but saves drinkers from a hangover.

"For people who don't like to drink alcohol and want to enjoy the Oktoberfest as well, I think it's a good option," Mikael Caselitz, 24, of Munich said at the festival. "Sometimes people feel like they have more fun with alcohol, which is not a good thing because you can also have fun without alcohol."

He added: "If you want to come and drink alcohol-free beer, nobody will judge you."

Quizá pienses que Cancún por sí solo es de lo más tradicional que puedas encontrar en México: nada más alejado de la realidad. 
Esto incluso fue algo completamente nuevo para mí, pero Cancún no tiene como tal una esencia propia, sino que su esencia lo hacen las demás culturas de las personas que viven ahí, provenientes de México y de otros países.
No esperes más y empieza a aprender acerca de cómo es este lugar y de sus atracciones junto a Jessica, nuestra guía online en este episodio que ha vivido ahí por muchísimos años y que sin duda sabe demasiado de cómo son las cosas por allá.

Thinking out loud in Japanese

テラハ１

Halo semua! Apa kalian menikmati akhir minggu dengan baik?
Hari ini saya punya cerita menarik! Hari Jumat minggu lalu, waktu bertemu dengan salah satu murid saya, saya bilang “Di Indonesia, banyak polisi tidur di jalan loh”. Terus, murid saya bingung, “Polisi tidur di jalan? Untuk apa? Itu sangat bahaya kan!” Dia kaget banget! 
Ya, ya, “Polisi tidur” di Bahasa Inggris artinya “speed bump”, tapi saya pikir di Jepang tidak ada polisi tidur ya, jadi artinya polisi tidur adalah 車の速度を落とさせるための道路上の段差のこと。Menarik kan! 
Di Indonesia, biasanya di area yang ada sekolah atau di jalanan kecil, banyak polisi tidur. Kadang-kadang ada 4, 5 polisi tidur. Jadi, kalau kalian pergi ke Indonesia, jangan kaget melihat banyak polisi tidur di jalan. Hehe.. Ok, Sampai di sini ya. Sampai jumpa lagi! 

Akhir minggu
