Maybe our farmers should take notice. Although imagine the price in beef (even for Kobe beef) to support their diet :p

Cattle on 40 pints a day of beer

A Cornish farmer is believed to be the first in the county to experiment with breeding cattle on beer.

The Limousin herd at Woodland Farm in Fentonadle get through up to 40 pints of local brew a day as part of their enviable diet.

And they even get a massage to help produce the speciality Kobe-style beef, based on traditional Japanese production methods.

Farmer Darren Pluess says the cattle are not harmed by the diet.
 
In Japan Wagu beef is feed on beer. Has been for a while

And it tastes great! I personally prefer a nice thick juicy fillet steak, but as far as beef goes in Japan, this stuff is so tasty. I can't imagine anything that has that much fat not being tasty when cooked over an open heat source!

Here's a couple of pictures taken last week at a Yakiniku place in Takaoka. The beef was from a town called Himi near where I was living:
