Britain Built a Floating Brewery to Make Beer for Troops in World War II

Morale is important for any army or naval force. It improves unit cohesion, supports the achievements of both the individual and the group and can even be the difference between victory and defeat.
During World War II, the Allies went to great lengths to keep the spirits of their troops up as high as possible. What better way to keep the fighting men happy than with some ice-cold brews in the heat of the tropics?
There was only one problem with getting the suds to the fight: Beer doesn't travel all that well. To keep the men fresh, the Allies needed to keep the beers fresh, and the best way to do that, it turns out, is to brew the beer close to where it's being consumed, even if it's during World War II.
