You'll have to excuse me for this type of post. In my current impaired state, I can't really perform at 100%. And I still need to churn out posts daily. I know, it's a rod I've created for my own back. But I just can't give it up. If I drop dead on a trip, you probably won't realise for a week as my preloaded posts continue to appear.
You can see the effect of WW II in the relatively low strength of all the beers. With all the examples under 4% ABV and the weakest under 3% ABV. While pre-war there had been 5% ABV beers.
Do I have any other interesting observations on these beers? Not really. Look at the table your fucking selves. I'm not going to do everything for you.
Batavia, in case you're wondering, was the colonial name for Jakarta.
