Beer cart drivers with horse-drawn wagon, Berlin 1932

Two drivers in the characteristic white uniform of the Berlin brewing trade sit atop their wagon, behind them wooden barrels stacked and secured with chains. Horse-drawn beer delivery to taverns and pubs was still a familiar sight on Berlin streets in 1932, even as trucks increasingly took over the trade. Breweries kept their own fleets with uniformed drivers, whose appearance formed part of the company's public image. The footage records this traditional occupation shortly before it gradually gave way to motorized delivery.
