I don't know about beer, but I recall reading in one book about the "depth charge medicine" that would be issued to crew members. I believe it was small bottles of brandy.

One instance I remember reading about was after some crew members were working beneath the main deck to repair damage, where they would have been stuck if the boat had been attacked and needed to submerge. The captain ordered a ration of "depth charge medicine" for the men to be released from the medical supplies after they were finished.

I don't remember the specific book, I read it too long ago.
