经济改革使中国的啤酒产量从1978年的3．4百万桶增至1993年的105百万桶，从而使中国成为第二啤酒生产大国。可是现在每年人均啤酒饮用量仅为2．6加仑。预计直至2000年，每年啤酒产量至少增加10％。现时传统的耗粮多的烈性酒饮用量仍很大，国家采取削减烈性酒的政策，以啤酒来补足，在原料供应方面，中国的酒花产量现列为世界第三。优质制麦大麦的需求量很大。为了满足高速发展的酿造业的需要，在划定大片的专用耕作区的同时，正在育种和引进新的大麦品种上作出很大的努力。本文对中国酿造业的主要技术方面给予论述。
The economic reforms increased China’s beer production from 3.4 million barrels in 1978 to 105 million barrels in 1993, making China the second largest producer of beer. However, the per capita beer consumption is only 2.6 gallons per year. It is expected that beer production will increase by at least 10% each year until 2000. At present, the consumption of traditional strong alcoholic beverages is still very large. The country adopts a policy of cutting down on spirits and supplements it with beer. In terms of raw material supply, China’s hop production now ranks third in the world. There is a great demand for high-quality wheat barley. In order to meet the needs of the rapidly growing brewing industry, while deciding large-scale dedicated farming areas, great efforts have been made to breed and introduce new varieties of barley. This article discusses the main technical aspects of the Chinese brewing industry.
