Anyone familiar with this comic?  - "The title translates into "The Masters of the Barley" and the arc of the story follows a small Belgian brewery that grows into a vast multinational beer empire and the family, the Steenforts, that runs it."

I know I heard/read someone mention this but I couldn't find any threads on the subject here.  No it hasn't been translated as far as I know. 

I noticed that the following link was posted in the recent headlines section, seems that the study was inspired by the comic.  This is equally interesting
