A curious weapon

I found this site an interesting report with some curious photographs showing a Spitfire of the RAF carrying beer kegs under the wings. I've never seen this. Can anyone tell what the purpose of it ? To see these curious and unbelievable photos, visit the link below:

Maybe it was a plan to drop the beer, have them freak out over the unspeakable waste and sue for peace. They were fighting the Germans, after all.
