Port 'Moresby Brewery
pp. 71-72 · Read in the full issue
WHEN Mr. C. Yeomans, managing director of the new company that is erecting a brewery in Port Moresby, returned to Australia from the Territory in late March he said that he hoped that the beer would be flowing from the new brewery by Christmas, 1951.
The company plans to send the beer out in 1,200 11 -gallon steel drums that were used during the war as aircraft oxygen containers. The company was able to buy the drums from Disposals at a bargain price.
Later on, the company hopes to estab lish a bottle-making factory to take care of the bottled beer trade. At present, all beer is imported into the Territory in bottles. Presumably, there is some tech nical reason why it is not imported in kegs.
