Beer from Coal (1959)

[nick987789]

"Huge Lancashire boilers use 150 tons of coal a day"

No, it said "per week".

At 50 secs in, we see the sacrificial man going into the vat. I hope it's a quick death; but it does add "body" to the brew.

It looks like the coal company wanted a government subsidy. No coal - no beer eh?

[varflane]

Wow, didn't know beer was made from coal. Personally I prefer wine (Which is made from newspaper). Excellent film, thank you. New subscriber.

Why do I feel depressed?

[numberstation]

Because you don't have a time machine.

[applecounty]

Or perhaps i realised what was about to happen, and now lament the passing of an industry - only four deep coal mines left in the UK.
