I missed a good beer story in the WSJ. Fortunately, the best beer site in the hops world covered it. Excerpts:
From 1950 to 2004, the amount of malt used to brew a barrel of beer in the U.S. declined by nearly 27%, and the amount of hops in a barrel of beer declined by more than half. Part of that decrease is due to improvements in how brewers extract flavor from hops. Nonetheless, beer's taste became steadily lighter. . . .
Anheuser didn't talk publicly about it, but the brewer also recently made changes in its brewing process to correct for over-lightening.
Now, if Anheuser could do something with the narcissistic playboy who wants to be the face of the company.
