I missed a good beer story in the *WSJ*. Fortunately, [the best beer site in the hops world covered it](http://www.realbeer.com/blog/?p=142&ref=thedailyeudemon.com). 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](http://www.forbes.com/finance/mktguideapps/personinfo/FromMktGuideIdPersonTearsheet.jhtml?passedMktGuideId=192914&ref=thedailyeudemon.com) who wants to be the [face of the company](http://www.bookofjoe.com/2005/11/is%5Faugust%5Fa%5Fbus.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com).
