Shut up about Barclay Perkins - World beer production in 1913, 1920, 1929—1934
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
Some more lovely numbers from that Polish trade journal. I hope you enjoy them as mush as I do.
Just a couple of observations. I'm struck by how high up the list Belgium comes. For such a small country, ranking fifth in the world (as it did in both 1913 and 1934) in terms of beer production is very impressive. Also note how far down the list the Netherlands is, producing not much more than 10% of what Belgium did.
Beer production fell almost everywhere after 1930, doubtless as a result of the worldwide recession. Also in just about every European country output was lower in 1934 than in 1913. One country which did show impressive growth was Japan, going from 100,000 hl in 1913 to almost 1.75 million hl in 1934.
It's weird that in some years more beer was brewed in tiny Luxembourg than in Mexico.
