此次荣获金奖的产品石林
是邛酒产区专注精酿啤酒的优质企业
——美西啤酒
最畅销的产品之一
今年8月，美西推出全新升级版石林西海岸IPA，仅仅2个月的时间，石林就在亚洲重大赛事中获得金奖。同时，美西的过桶帝国世涛“天使的分享”也在此次比赛中获得木桶陈酿啤酒金奖。
Remarkably, this achievement came just two months after the launch of the upgraded Stone Forest West Coast IPA in August. In addition, Wild West's barrel-aged stout "Angel's Share" also received the Gold Medal in the barrel-aged beer category.
美西是一个具有扎实酿酒技术、丰富啤酒知识和深厚功底的酒厂。产品种类齐全，风格多样，每一款酒均为高质量佳品。此前，美西浑浊型IPA屡获奖项，此次获奖也意味着美西的优势不仅仅是浑浊型IPA，西海岸IPA同样出色。
Wild West is a brewery with a solid brewing technique and a wealth of beer knowledge, offering a wide range of products in various styles, each of which stands out.This accomplishment underscores that Wild West's strength goes beyond hazy IPAs; our West Coast IPA is equally outstanding.
亚洲啤酒锦标赛
IPA是“India Pale Ale”的缩写，直译为“印度单色艾尔啤酒”，这是一种啤酒花味道浓重的Ale啤酒。IPA在英国生产，最初是为了供应给英国在印度殖民地的一种啤酒。提高了酒精度并增加了啤酒花的添加量，从而提高了啤酒在长途海运中抗变质的能力。
啤酒花
后来因为殖民统治结束、工业啤酒迅猛发展，使其几乎被世界遗忘。直到上世纪中后期美国发起了一场抵抗大工厂模式的“精酿运动”，并将自己的酿造风格定位在IPA上，才使其大放异彩。发展至今，IPA细分出了很多分支品类，也是当下全世界最流行的一种精酿风格。
IPA主要分为英式IPA和美式IPA，近年来较为流行的西海岸IPA、浑浊IPA等品类皆属于美式IPA分支。
此次获奖的产品石林IPA
便为西海岸IPA下的
又一现代分支品类
石林IPA是美西的原始IPA，也是美西最畅销的产品之一。有粉丝曾说初版石林是对美西的最初印象，已是其心中行标之一。升级后的新版石林IPA是美西研发团队对标世界酿造水平，经过广泛实验后的成果，在基础麦芽、啤酒花品种和啤酒花技术上都做了重大调整。从顾客反馈和赛事获奖都表明，这的确是一款具有全新高度的优质IPA。
Stone Fores IPA is Wild West's original IPA and one of our best-selling products. A fan has described the original Stone Forest as his initial impression of Wild West, and the upgraded version is expected to be even more impressive. The new Stone Forest IPA is the result of our research and development team benchmarking against global brewing standards and conducting extensive experiments. Significant changes have been made in terms of base malts, hop varieties, and hop techniques. Customer feedback and competition awards both confirm that this is indeed a high-quality IPA that has reached new heights.
“一直认为美西是一个在精酿啤酒行业的开拓者，始终坚持去研究产品，甚至对已有产品进行配方改进，这一点是很多品牌需要学习的”
——美西粉丝
"I have always considered Wild West as a pioneer in the craft beer industry, persistently researching their products and even improving the recipes of existing ones, a lesson many brands need to learn."
近年来
精酿啤酒被越来越多人知晓
在国内逐步出圈
而美西凭借极强的研发、创新能力
已成为国产精酿的中坚品牌
美西啤酒（Wild West）
是一家来自邛酒产区的精酿啤酒厂牌
坐落在水网密布、
水质清冽的美酒产区邛崃
得天独厚的水资源
为美西啤酒提供了牢靠的酿酒基架
从世界各地优选的麦芽、
酒花、酵母等重要原料
以及发达的世界酿酒技术
使得美西啤酒当仁不让地
成为国产精酿的中坚品牌
成都市美西啤酒酿造有限公司于2016年创建，落地于成都邛崃，这里为中国最大白酒原酒基地。
所用酿造原料均选用优质进口麦芽、酒花、酵母，并结合邛崃当地优质的水源，力求为酿酒爱好者提供最高品质，最新鲜，具有当地特色的精酿啤酒。美西啤酒将先进的西方酿酒工艺与当地传统风味有机结合，创造出独树一帜的啤酒风格，所生产的啤酒平衡、干净，同时又具有吸引大众的独特口感。

（酿造团队）
美西啤酒创始人是一对夫妻档Scott和Carol。Scott来自于美国西部的犹他州，Carol来自于中国西部的四川省，“美西”的名字就因此而来。从建厂至今，美西啤酒用一种工匠的精神来打造酿酒团队，一直深耕于酿造一线。其工厂酿造团队也选择了对酿造深度热爱的本土技术人员。对于美西啤酒来说，稳定的酿造团队，是美西啤酒生产力、创造力的源泉和底气。
Co-foundersare the husband and wife team of Scott and Carol Hunt. Scott hails from Utah in the Wild West of the USA; Carol is from Sichuan in the Wild West of China. From its founding to this day, Wild West Brewing has built its brewing team with an artisan spirit. WWB brewing team also came from local technicians who have a deep passion for beer brewing. For Wild West Brewing, a stable brewing team is the source of productivity, creativity, and confidence.

美西坐落于邛崃市临邛工业园，占地面积1100平方米。拥有先进的4缸酿造设备及蒸汽驱动，工厂内部配有12个发酵罐，以及专业的罐装流水线。美西还在厂区打造了自营酒吧，与酒厂相连，坐在这里即可享受最新鲜的美西啤酒，酒厂目前年产量最高可达到600吨。

Wild West Brewing is located in 1100 square meters of industrial space in Qionglai City, WWB has 12 brewing vessels and advanced 4 - cylinder brewing equipment, and a steam drive for brewing multiple batches per day they are also equipped with a professional canning line. WWB is not just set up for national distribution: They also have an on-site taproom you can sit here and enjoy the freshest beer within the factory. The current fermentation capacity is 600,000 liters (600 tons).
对于全国最大白酒原酒基地为何位于邛崃，美西给出了他们自己的解答：邛崃拥有洁净且富含矿物质的水源。
Scott曾将邛崃的天然水样板带回美国实验室做水质分析，结果发现这里的水源及矿物含量与史上拉格酿造名城——奥地利的维也纳惊人相似。即使现代精酿酒厂都有过滤设备及调节酸碱度技术，但有经验的酿酒师仍深谙天然好水对啤酒的影响力。
在美西酒厂，不需要复杂的反渗透过滤技术便能得到最适合酿造的水源，可谓得天独厚。
This area in the foothills of the Qionglai mountains boasts incredible water quality. Wild West Brewery is far from the first enterprise to discover this secret - the area has been renowned for its premium baijiu. Water quality is so pristine in the Qionglai foothills that nothing more than a standard filtration system is necessary for the brewing process. Those who have brewed in other parts of China know that in order to achieve quality water, complicating processes like reverse osmosis are usually in order - Scott requires none of that for his Wild West brews. In fact, water samples he brought back to the US for testing revealed something extraordinary: the water in Qionglai shares a mineral profile shockingly similar to that of the water in the ancient brewing hub of Vienna, Austria.

同时，美西啤酒深入践行可持续发展。有别于传统的社群打造，美西在培养消费者的同时，更着眼于本地经济及生态系统。“我们（的设备）必须环保，节能减排的同时大大增加产出。”蒸汽是最清洁的能源，酒厂与一家当地蒸汽动能供应商合作，围绕酒厂铺设蒸汽管道，不但降低能源成本，也有更多生态的考量。蒸汽公司使用农作物副产品制造能源，扩展当地农民收入来源，降低损耗浪费。这样一来，美西酒厂自然成了优质环境链的一部分，正如Carol所说：“我们只使用最清洁、最有效且自然的资源。”
Carol also went out to describe Wild West Brewing’s role in more than the craft beer community, but also the local economy and ecosystem. “[Our operations] have to be environmental-friendly. Take much less, bring more,” she says. Wild West Brewing, for example, has teamed up with a local steam plant to take advantage of their resources. They’ve installed a line running from the steam company to the brewery not only to save on costs, but also to save on the energy of maintaining their own generators. The steam plant uses byproducts from local farms to create steam, a much more eco-friendly process than farmers openly burning their waste in their own fields.
