Brewers to lift output by thirty five percent under new rule
Special cable reports the government will raise beer production from heavy dark brews to include a light beer variant. The change comes amid working class discontent over reduced supply, with munition plants notably affected. Normal output exceeded 35 million barrels, but early rules cut to 18 million then 10 million. After four months at the lower rate, officials grant an extra 3.5 million barrels, with possible future increases.
England Restores Beer Output After Shortages
London reports the government eased February’s 10 million barrel limit following shortages in munitions areas and rural districts. An immediate 35 percent increase in beer production is now allowed to address supply gaps.

Crop to Decide Future Beer Output
London reports that after harvest the brewing question will be reviewed. Commissions advising the Government on compensation for nationalizing the liquor trade will report, enabling a swift enactment. If passed, the brewing issue passes to the Government before malt stocks run out, with barley stock decisions based on grain supplies and public needs.
