around the start of WW II, to be precise.Remember me saying the other day that someday I might be arsed to harvest the Far East beers from Heineken's Gravity Book? Against all expectations, I actually did get off my arse and do the work. At least the stuff from 1939 and 1940. For some reason there's then a big gap until 1946. I wonder why that might be?
I now realise that Heineken were financially involved in many of the breweries whose beers they analysed. The list from 1946 is longer than in the 1939 annual report.

Heineken annual report 1946, page 5.Pretty much all the beers are Pilsners with one exception: those from Singapore are all Stouts. Not sure why that was.
In addition to breweries with which Heineken was financially entangled, there are a few from others involved heavily in the export trade to the Far East: Tennent, Allsopp and Carlsberg. Plus, weirdly, a Swiss-owned brewery in Accra, Ghana, the oddly-named Overseas Brewery.
