The Production and Consumption or Beer in Europe and the United States.

A quick tabletoday because I have to rush to the airport in about 23 minutes. And I still have Sunday's post to write, too.

Points of possible interest: Germany was producing more beer than the UK And the USA was quite a way behind both. Though the UK remained the largest exporter of beer.

Analyse the table well. I'll be asking questions on it later in the week.
