London, Aug. 13.
Britain's brewing industry is entering what looks like being a boom period and like most booms in industry there is a cause and effect.
In this case, the cause is the increased potency of this year's beer. The effect is that Britons are so pleased to have stronger beer that they are drinking more of it.
To get an overall picture of Britain's beer-drinking habits of today compared with a few years ago, it is necessary to go back to the last year before the war,

As thomage of essential In- gredients became more and more of a problem for brewers, so the strength of the beer was weakened, but the condi- tions under which propic were living during the air ruids and conditions generally in the war years were such that any beer was better than no beer.
There was also the except ional gathering together groups of people fuch as Home Guards and clvi! defence workers who had to stand by for hours on end, sometimes days on end, Idly waiting for a call to action. Drinking, not only beer playing darts were used to while away the walling hours.
