Sign me up: [Beer baths](http://www.smh.com.au/news/europe/bathe-in-beer/2008/04/23/1208743038757.html?page=fullpage&ref=thedailyeudemon.com). Of course, you have to go the Czech Republic. "\[W\]hile a regular tap pipes in locally sourced Il-Sano mineral water, our tubs will also contain 8-10 litres of unpasteurised Chodovar 10, a dark brew that is pouring rapidly from a brass beer font fixed to the foot of each bath. Add some crushed herbs and dried yeast, mix it all together and you have a beer bath, excellent for "soothing muscles, warming joints and healing the complexion", according to the brewery. . . . "It increases circulation, decreases blood pressure and purifies the skin because of the proteins, the high vitamin B content and also because of the minerals in the water." Soaking in beer, he adds, is also very relaxing for the mind and good for wellbeing."

Kentucky prepared to declare war: [Japanese whisky voted the best](http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life%5Fand%5Fstyle/food%5Fand%5Fdrink/article3822531.ece?ref=thedailyeudemon.com).

[The ambiguity of being vodka](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/wine/main.jhtml?xml=/wine/2008/04/25/edwine125.xml&ref=thedailyeudemon.com): "Given that it can be produced from anything containing starch or sugar, its very definition is subject to a range of legal challenges around the world."

[The Miller blogger seems mildly surprised to see smaller imports gaining significant market shares](http://www.brewblog.com/brew/2008/04/smaller-imports.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). He then lists the three that are doing well:

1\. Modelo Especial  
 2\. Tecate  
 3\. Stella Artois

Let me provide the key to solving this puzzle: The first two are Mexican beers. If you're still not sure what's driving the increased sales, come to my small town for a tour. I'll take you to eight Mexican stores and restaurants, seven of which didn't exist 15 years ago.

(Aside: The link immediately above contains an email link where you can get a (free, I think) subscription to *Brew Magazine*.)

Crap, it would appear the (fiscal) year is almost over. I should've stopped by months ago: [Year of Beer](http://www.yearofbeer.com/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com): "I plan to drink a different beer every day for a year, it can be a homebrew, a craft brew, or a large commercially globally distributed beer." I kinda did something like that once, except it was more like a twelve-pack a day for a year, I was in college, and I switched brands depending on what was cheapest.
