It even shows the head brewer, Lieutenant Commander George Brown RNVR, pointing at the fermenting vessel, and two other officers enjoying mild at 9d per pint. A copy of the film is held in the archives at the Imperial War Museum, while the brewery was the subject of an article in the November 1992 issue of "The Brewer" and a section of "The Devices of War" by Norman Kemp (1956).
