Look at our government. Just look at it. Never mind the shortages: there is never going to be ‘enough booze’.

Every successful Pol has friends, loads of them, right up until they don’t.
If we’re lucky he’ll end up like Stalin lying in a pool of his own piss while his friends argue about whether to call a doctor.

Well, considering the U.K. has over 1600 independent breweries, it’s really not difficult to get hold of beer, and then there are the independent gin distilleries, an increasing number of whiskey distilleries in England and Wales, as well as those in Scotland and Ireland, and I believe there are rum producers in the U.K. as well.
Then there’s all the cider makers…
Why worry about imports when we’re more than capable of making outstanding drinks of our own?
A very rough calculation indicates that drinking one different beer every evening from all of the current breweries, would take about four years without duplicating any brews.
Actually, that would be an interesting little project to set up…

This problem solves itself: Once enough drivers have sobered up, more booze will come rolling in!

The UK government outright denying there’s a shortage of something is what triggers panic buying because we know all too well what lying arseholes they are…

Surely army trucks would make much, much more sense? I can’t really see what disaster would call for an airlift that land and sea can’t deal with better. Are the remain crowd planning to blockade West Bromwich to enforce a communist takeover which the plucky Brexit Bois will break with an endless stream of DC3s and the odd supersonic fighter dropping party favours from a great height?

Are the barley, hops, etc all domestically sourced? And / or able to be transported to the breweries in a timely fashion?
Most would be, or could easily.
Honestly Brexit caused Ireland to have a potato shortage for chippers* but I can’t see England running out of beer given a few weeks warning.
Actually, can you brew beer out of winter barley? I wouldnt be massively surprised if it wasn’t great for it.
*Just that particular kind.
