Or the Dutch brewing industry. Remember that post from a couple of days ago about U-boats and Amstel? I mentioned the surprisingly large impact of the neutral Netherlands.
I thought I had some numbers somewhere to demonstrate that impact. I did. And I've gathered them up for you, like sticklebacks in a net. The number of breweries in the UK and the Netherlands 1895 to 1930. I knew this stuff would come in handy one day.
First, the Netherlands:
Dutch breweries by province
1890 1900 1910 1920 1930 Noord-Brabant 241 214 191 72 65 Gelderland 42 31 27 13 10 Zuid-Holland 35 25 24 14 - Noord-Holland 22 19 17 12 10 Zeeland 36 33 31 25 25 Utrecht 12 7 7 4 3 Overijssel 10 9 7 3 3 Friesland 2 2 2 2 2 Groningen 20 16 14 1 1 Drenthe 1 1 1 0 0 Limburg 236 216 201 77 66 Total: 657 574 522 223 198 Sources: Nederlands Etiketten Logboek, 1998
Note the big drop between 1910 and 1920.
Now here's the UK:
UK breweries 1890 - 1930
1890 1900 1905 1910 1914 1920 1930 1000 barrels 2,014 1,531 1,393
1,111
total 12,000 6,290 5,180 4,512 3,647 2,914 1,418 Sources: "Journal of the Institute of Brewing, vol 7", 1901, page 64 BBPA Statistical Handbook 2003, p. 92 Brewers' Almanack 1955 p.69
See? Between 1910 and 1920 57% of Dutch breweries closed and only 35% of UK breweries.
Looks to me like WW I was worse for Dutch brewing than British.https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5445569787371915337-1237216827015306454?l=barclayperkins.blogspot.com
