Yet more boring old numbers for you. Perhaps there's one person out there, other than me, who's interested in this stuff.

Little beer was imported in the immediate post-war years and, initially, from different sources. It wasn’t until the 1950s that Germany regained its position of major supplier of imports. Though not back to the same volume as pre-war.

Belgium was establishing itself at the same time as a strong number two, increasing volumes to ten times of what they’d been before the war. While Czech imports dried up after the communist takeover in 1949. UK imports didn’t dry up, they just hadn’t restarted.

The percentage of imports in bottled form greatly increased after the war, rising from 14.5% in to 58.5% in 1952. Though a majority imports from Germany remained draught beer.
