World leaders are gathered in Pittsburgh, PA this week for the G20 Summit. They are trying to sort out the world’s economic problems – monetary and fiscal policies, capital requirements, and financial regulations. It can be confusing stuff.

I would like to use the statistics cited in this report about beer import to export ratio by bottle per country. Is there a reference to that information readily available?
