Isn’t this the real problem of Beer
-and almost its only problem!
there ARE people, of course, who stead
fastly and sincerely believe beer to be intox
icating, or its use sinful, harmful, or a first
step toward use of “hard liquor.”
Just as sincerely we hold that the weight
of the evidence is overwhelmingly against
them...that beer is a mild, wholesome food
beverage...and that “there is nothing more
promising to combat the evil of too much
alcohol than the opportunity of drinking
good beer.”
No.. .it is not in beer itself, we believe, that
Its gravest problem lies, but in those condi
tions, undesirable to us all, which sometimes
surround its sale.
How should that problem be handled...
by brewers, by retailers, by consumers, and
by the public authorities ? On its handling,
we believe, depends the ultimate success or
failure of the art and science of brewing,
with all its manifold contributions to human
pleasure and happiness and to the farm and
industrial welfare of this country.
*“ * * *
In that belief, a short time ago the Brewers
Foundation was organized ... to align the
brewing industry with forces working for
the public good in this country.
Our underlying motive ... to perpetuate
and promote our industry ... is of course
obvious. But equally obvious, we hope, is
the fact that our interests coincide with the
public interest.
Important progress has been made. Brewer-
members of the Foundation already represent
nearly half the production of beer and ale in
the United States: and these members are
pledged, individually and collectively, to the
Brewers Code, one sigftifidant clause of which
is as follows:
“We pledge our support to the duly con
stituted authorities for the elimination of
anti-social conditions wherever they may
surround the sale of beer to the consumer.”
Being practical men, we promise no mira
cles. We cannot immediately or effectively
“police” the quarter-million points where
beer is sold (nor, to be fair, have we legal
authority in many cases to do so). Nor can
we, immediately, bring about full compliance
with the law among all retailers, nor honest
enforcement by all authorities.
But a beginning has been made...and we
do promise that you will see results from it.
i * * *
How far we can go, and how soon, depends
very much on ourselves...but partly also
on you.
Public opinion, once aroused, can operate
to bring about honest enforcement of exist
ing laws. Restriction of your patronage only
to legal, respectable retail outlets can and
will operate to raise retailing standards.
Public preference for the products of Foun
dation members* will bear witness of your
approval both to members and to cooperat
ing retailers, and will encourage them to
renewed efforts.
.* * *
This is, therefore, at once a statement of our
objectives and an appeal for your support,
without which we must fall short of our high
hopes. We urgently invite your full and
sympathetic cooperation.
