Carrying on from an earlier post about world beer production during WW II, here's what happened when all the nastiness ended.
Only one country experienced a fall in the quantity of beer brewed: the UK. While the good times
Other countries saw modest increases: USA and France, for example. Over the period covered. The situation with France was more complicated. Production being two million barrels down on 1947. And, yes, those numbers aren’t the same as in the European table. Though I’ve made it difficult for you to spot by using different units. 1945 and 1946 tally, the rest are 300,000 – 400,000 barrels lower in the European table.
Belgium and Czechoslovakia saw a reasonable growth of 23% and 38%, respectively. Canada and Australasia did even better with 52% and 93%. Germany’s seemingly impressive figure is tempered by the fact that they were starting from zero.
Overall, prospects looked good for brewing in most of the world.
