ALCOHOL CONTENT OF BEER
—♦.— NEW REGULATIONS ISSUED
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, August 13. Under the Manufacture of Liquor Emergency Regulations, which will come into force on Saturday, no beer with a specific gravity higher than 1036 may be brewed for sale except with the consent of the Minister of Customs and under such conditions as he may prescribe. The Minister of Customs (the Hon. A. H. Nordmeyer) said that the regulations would compel those brewers who had not reduced the alcoholic content of their beer to come into line with the majority of brewers who had loyally fallen in with the Government’s wishes. Under certain technical circumstances, such as for blending, the specific gravity for both beer and stout may be higher than 1036. The regulations also prohibit, except with the Minister’s consent, the use of spirits of wine in manufacture for sale of intoxicating liquors.
