Speaker 2: of rain and cool temperatures, especially earlier in the month,
Speaker 2: we certainly made up for it towards the tail end. However,
Speaker 2: kicking off may will be a little bit on the
Speaker 2: cool front, especially if you're closer to the water. Today
Speaker 2: this afternoon, high temperatures will be in the low to
Speaker 2: mid sixties. Inland locations will push seventy, and on the
Speaker 2: Capan Islands we're stuck in the fifties. Nonetheless, there's going
Speaker 2: to be a nice looking day, even by spring standards.
Speaker 2: We're in good shape with a mix of sun and
Speaker 2: clouds and continue a bit breezy overnight, more clouds than notts,
Speaker 2: with a shower around later on and tomorrow, it looks
Speaker 2: like it's going to be a mostly cloudy day, but
Speaker 2: it's also going to be warm, and it will be
Speaker 2: quite humid as well, with temperatures approaching eighty degrees and
Speaker 2: we do have a chance of showers in the afternoon,

Speaker 8: some not so great taste tests for entrepreneur Samara Austar
Speaker 8: to create Melli, a Lowell based beer made entirely from keenwah.
Speaker 9: We didn't know anything about recipes or formulation or process,
Speaker 9: so we kind of were just starting from scratch basically
Speaker 9: when we started this.
Speaker 8: Samara says, they're the first to do this, teaming up
Speaker 8: with two food scientists at MIT to make her vision
Speaker 8: a reality. She says she was inspired by her travels
Speaker 8: in South America when she tried a beer partially brewed
Speaker 8: from keenwah.
Speaker 9: It didn't even occur to me at the time that
Speaker 9: keenwa comes from all these different countries and parts of
Speaker 9: the world. There is red keenwa, there's black Keywah, there's
Speaker 9: a white Kingwa. So we had to pinpoint what the
Speaker 9: right ingredients actually were.
Speaker 8: You can find Melly in local liquor stores, Trader Joe's
Speaker 8: and pretty soon Whole Foods. Brook McCarthy WBS Boston's News Radio.
